Running time: 88 mins

Director: Julian Kemp

Starring: Michael Sheen, Kelly Adams, Naomie Harris, Brendan Patricks

A young man examines what went wrong with his previous five relationships in a romantic comedy with a philosophical twist.

Duncan (Brendan Patrick) ruminates on the various ways in which he's loved and lost, even as he embarks on his latest and greatest relationship with the beautiful Gemma (Naomie Harris). She seems perfect in every way, but will Duncan's paranoid suspicions end up sinking yet another love and culminating in the biggest heartbreak of his life? For example, when Gemma says she spent the night at a girlfriend's place, why would she then buy Duncan his favourite cereal - unless she was guilty about something she wasn't telling him? Loosely based on the bestseller On Love by Alain de Botton, My Last Five Girlfriends is an inventive British rom-com from writer-director Julian Kemp. Ex-magician Brendan Patricks makes a likeable impression as the self-examining Duncan, while Naomie Harris is on top form as the radiant Gemma.
