One Day (2011)



After spending the night together on the night of their college graduation a woman and a man are shown each year on the same date to see where they are in their lives; they are sometimes together, sometimes not, on that day.

A relationship drama propelled by Sturgess' mysterious reluctance to love Hathaway is well-played, but unnerves for exact that reason; the ending is quite a punch in the stomach.

Maltin**: "Dreary, drawn-out look at a star-crossed relationship..David Nicholls adapted his best-selling book but something's been lost in the translation; we never understand what makes Sturgess' character tick, so it's hard to care about him."
