Ace Date

About This Movie

Ace Date is a quirky exploration of asexuality wrapped in a light rom-com format. Sydney, the protagonist, navigates a series of awkward blind dates orchestrated by her well-meaning but insistent roommate, Rachel. You can feel the tension between Sydney's genuine disinterest in dating and her attempts to placate Rachel, which creates a kind of chaotic charm. The pacing is leisurely, allowing for some lovely moments of introspection and humor, though it might not be for everyone. The performances, particularly from the lead, bring a certain authenticity that resonates, and the film's distinctive take on the asexual experience is refreshingly candid, making it stand out in a sea of typical romance narratives.

Ace Date is relatively new, so finding physical copies can be a bit tricky. The film has seen limited releases and hasn’t garnered a massive following yet, which makes it somewhat of a hidden gem. Collectors might find it interesting due to its unique subject matter and the portrayal of asexuality, an angle not often tackled in mainstream cinema. Keep an eye out for any special editions or festival screenings that might pop up, as they could be worth snagging.
