The involvement of author Taylor Jenkins Reid in the overall production of the film and with the actors themselves also ensured that the film adaptation of ‘One True Loves’ is true to the source material. The compelling chemistry between the main characters does a fantastic job of pushing the story forward, and the witty lines and heartfelt dialogue don’t leave much room for any dull moments in the film. It also focuses on the concept of love and challenges how it is presented in fiction and media, which in turn shapes the perception of the audience who is consuming these stories. While most romance films have a single leading couple, ‘One True Loves’ adds another romantic interest as the story naturally progresses for Emma (Phillipa Soo). But that is only the prologue everything that happens afterward is what sets ‘One True Loves’ apart from other films in the same genre. When the audience is first introduced to the characters in the film, the boy has already met the girl, and they’re soon to be married. The story is a completely unique take on the “boy-meets-girl” romantic stories. The film is based on the eponymous romance novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid. No, ‘One True Loves’ is not based on a true story. Due to this unique premise, one can’t help but be curious about whether or not the film is based on a true story or not. The film’s story is set on a similar backdrop and explores what it is like for the people who were left back at home in those situations. There have been many incidents in real life where a person who had been missing and presumed dead resurfaced sometime after their disappearance, having survived in the wild.
