All That She Wants had its world premiere Sunday at the Toronto International Film Festival, where Annie Murphy and Cooper Raiff lead a romantic comedy about a Gen Z character and a millennial who meet in bed. This account is based on reporting by Deadline.
The film was shot entirely in Toronto, which also serves as its setting rather than doubling for New York City. Murphy, the Canadian actor and Emmy winner for Schitt’s Creek, stars opposite Raiff, an independent-film veteran.
According to Deadline, the modestly scaled film stands out for its smart, funny approach and for the chemistry between its leads. The screenplay comes from David West Read, a Schitt’s Creek writer and Murphy’s real-life partner, who developed the project with Murphy in mind.
For global entertainment audiences tracking festival premieres, awards-season talent and new screen pairings, the film’s Toronto debut places its cast and creative team at the center of attention. Deadline’s review is an assessment of the movie’s reception, not independent confirmation of wider audience or industry response.
