Monica Barbaro Teases Guadagnino’s AI-Inspired OpenAI Film and Responds to Chalamet Ballet Commentary

Monica Barbaro discusses Luca Guadagnino’s OpenAI-inspired film Artificial (starring Andrew Garfield), calling it a blend of madcap comedy and horror while highlighting its real-events basis and Neon as the new home after Amazon’s investment. She also clarifies Timothée Chalamet’s ballet remarks as expressing concerns about audience interest, not disrespect for ballet or opera, drawing on her own dance background to provide context.

One Night Only squandered a dystopian setup that could’ve had Starship Troopers–level satire

One Night Only squandered a dystopian setup that could’ve had Starship Troopers–level satire

Vulture critic Alison Willmore argues that One Night Only starts with a sharp dystopian premise about a society enforcing chastity, but the film never commits to satirical bite and devolves into a bland rom‑com. It teases brands, surveillance tropes, and a critique of romance cinema, yet stumbles in execution, with Callum Turner as Owen and Monica Barbaro as Allie unable to elevate the material. The piece suggests a Verhoeven‑style subversion could have saved it, making this a missed opportunity rather than a bold social satire.

A 12-Hour NYC Night Sparks a Charming Rom-Com

A breezy, star-powered romantic comedy from Will Gluck about a city-wide ban on sex outside marriage that forces two unlikely lovers—pizza-shop owner Owen (Turner) and singer Allie (Barbaro)—to navigate a chaotic, late-night romance in New York City, with their chemistry carrying the film even as the script leans on contrivances and a parade of cameos for color.

Dystopian Rom-Com Struggles to Find Its Spark

One Night Only imagines a near-future U.S. where premarital sex is banned except for a single annual night, using a sunny New York setting and appealing leads to deliver a stylish but uneasy rom-com that attempts sharp satire but ends up feeling creepily prudish and underdeveloped despite its moments of charm and strong performances.

One Night Only fumbles a bold premise into a glossy but hollow romcom

Universal’s One Night Only tries to mine a provocative 'sex purge' premise—where singles can only have sex for 12 hours once a year—into a sunny, glossy romcom, but it’s overstuffed and undercooked: slick visuals and a sturdier lead pairing can’t compensate for thin writing, awkward world-building, and a grim political premise that never fully pays off.
