Two people who have each decided love isn't worth the risk keep ending up in the same room in At Midnight, a 2023 romantic comedy from director Jonah Feingold.
What is At Midnight about?
Sonia is a hotel manager trying to keep her professional life on track; Alejandro is a telenovela actor whose fame keeps intruding on everything else. Both have made a deliberate choice to stay guarded rather than risk getting hurt again, which is exactly the setup the film uses to keep pulling them back toward each other. Diego Boneta and Monica Barbaro lead as the two leads circling that decision, with Casey Thomas Brown, Catherine Cohen, Fernando Carsa, Whitney Cummings, Maya Zapata, and Anders Holm filling out the world around them. The film leans on the familiar rhythms of the genre, chance encounters, mismatched schedules, mutual friends nudging things along, rather than reinventing the format.
About the cast
Diego Boneta plays the telenovela actor whose public profile complicates his private life, opposite Monica Barbaro as the hotel manager trying to hold her guard up. Casey Thomas Brown, Catherine Cohen, Fernando Carsa, Whitney Cummings, Maya Zapata, and Anders Holm round out the supporting cast that surrounds the two leads across the film's hotel and set-adjacent settings.
Context & significance
Jonah Feingold directs a comedy-romance that sits comfortably in familiar territory: two people who have both decided, for their own reasons, that falling in love again isn't worth the risk. At 100 minutes, the film has room to let the two leads' resistance build and crack gradually rather than rushing the reversal. The hospitality and celebrity backdrops, a hotel on one side and the pressures of televised fame on the other, give the film two distinct worlds to move its leads between, which keeps the will-they-won't-they structure from feeling static across the runtime.
