There is little payoff, with Fickman running shy of the full-blooded commitment to make his film a proper weepie and instead constantly reverting to sassy, annoyingly self-aware comedy that makes light of everything.

The movie has the general shape of a comedy, but any laughs are largely unintentional.

Stumbles even as a piece of Hallmark sappiness.

One True Loves provides an interesting commentary on the complex relationship between love and grief. Phillipa Soo’s charming chemistry with both male leads makes both love stories equally compelling.
