‘Oh, Hi!’ Is a Dark Comedy About Flawed People
Sophie Brooksdirects, writes and produces the movie. In an official statement, the filmmaker revealed that the story ofOh, Hi!hails from personal experienceand broke down the nuances that the movie aims to achieve:
“Throughout history, women have been called “hysterical” in so many ways and for so many reasons. Now in this current modern world of dating and hooking up where relationships can take so many forms and there are so many options and choices for labels and intentions, the romantic world is rife with possibilities of miscommunication. The likelihood of different interpretations of conversations and situations leads to newer ways and reasons that women can be called crazy and men can be called assholes. In reality, we are all just people, with our own sets of baggage, but I found this simplification of inherently complicated feelings to be rather interesting and amusing. The idea for ‘Oh, Hi!’ came from this curiosity — leaning into those tropes, and tearing them apart. Is Iris crazy? Is Isaac an asshole? Or are they both just people who have their deepest fears triggered?”
Oh, Hi!premieres in theaters on July 25. you may check out the trailer above.
