An infatuated couple's first getaway turns dark when the man reveals he is not interested in being a couple. In a desperate act, the woman restrains him until he reconsiders his stance. This plot reflects the current dating landscape, offering a darkly comedic look at modern relationships and the societal stigmas women face. Director Sophie Brooks discusses how her experiences and the necessity of creation during the pandemic led to this story. The narrative critiques how women are often viewed as desperate or crazy for pursuing love more aggressively than men.
"This movie was a fun opportunity to lean into all of the tropes about women. We live in a culture where a man wanting love is viewed as romantic and sweet and a woman wanting it is considered desperate."
"A woman who lashes out after rejection is typically labeled crazy. I think that's really unfair."
"The idea for Oh, Hi! initially came to Brooks out of necessity: The director was itching to write something new while sheltering in place in 2020."
"The story reflects the current hellscape of the dating scene, capturing the absurdity of precarious romantic positions today."
