In mopey, dopey YA weepie \u201cThe Greatest Hits,\u201d writer-director Ned Benson takes that idea as literally as possible, treating specific tunes as triggers that launch Harriet (Lucy Boynton) back into her past, blowing her \u2014 like that seated guy in the classic Maxell campaign \u2014 into the tragic former relationship with hunky Max (square-jawed future Superman David Corenswet), who died in a car crash.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Sounds romantic, right? Actually, Harriet\u2019s condition is kind of a drag, as she\u2019d like to move on, but must now go through life wearing noise-canceling headphones and curating playlists with only \u201csafe\u201d songs (those with zero nostalgic potential). Music matters to Harriet, who worked in the industry \u2014 turns out Max was something of an indie rocker, while she mixed his album. Since the incident, she can no longer risk the roller coaster that hearing the wrong song might launch, so she\u2019s taken a job at the library (it\u2019s quiet, get it?).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    It all seems like a lot of effort just to make this high-concept premise work, with certain details \u2014 like, how Harriet can hear conversations when her hearing is muffled \u2014 left maddeningly unexplained. You\u2019d also think she\u2019d be a bit more careful behind the wheel after surviving a deadly car accident. This is a love story; it\u2019s not meant to be logical. Still, such a premise lives or dies by its execution, and apart from the pretty pixie flares that swarm the screen each time Harriet is about to sonic-zoom, \u201cThe Greatest Hits\u201d feels like the remainder-bin version of better love stories.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Set in the hip(ster) Los Feliz\/Silver Lake neighborhoods of Los Angeles, the movie suggests that Harriet\u2019s preferred way of listening to music is on vinyl. Living in a house no librarian could afford, she has covered the wall with one of those serial-killer murals, featuring a timeline of her four-year relationship with Max broken down into song-specific moments. The rest of the room is centered on her turntable, where crates of \u201cuntested\u201d LPs wait to be tried.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Because certain songs send her back to the moments when she first heard them, Harriet hopes that she can find the one missing musical cue that will allow her to change the past and save Max\u2019s life. The guy looks like movie-star material, but makes for a rather banal boyfriend, judging by the generic-looking memories sampled (flirting at a concert, splashing together at the beach). She <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ears to be living in an allergy-medicine commercial, which means that audiences clue in long before Harriet does that the movie wants her to move on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Enter David (Justin H. Min), a goofy-cute potential suitor who turns up at one of her grief support meetings. David\u2019s parents recently died, and he\u2019s dealing with his own feelings, but for some reason (which Boynton\u2019s performance doesn\u2019t convey), it seems like a good idea to hit on the girl with the headphones. While she tries to block out unwanted oldies, Benson orchestrates ways for Harriet and David to bond in relation to new music: at the record store, attending a dance party DJed by her gay best friend (Austin Crute), etc.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    So much about these scenes feels forced, as if Benson is presenting a thesis on how contemporary humans relate to music. And yet, most people don\u2019t remember the time and place of every song they\u2019ve ever heard. When they find a favorite, that tune gets played lots of times. The selections in \u201cThe Greatest Hits\u201d run the gamut from indie rock to instrumentals (with random choices, like \u201cPump Up the Jam,\u201d inexplicably thrown in). Obviously, these songs mean something to Harriet \u2014 and maybe Benson as well \u2014 but they don\u2019t hold any significance to us, which makes for an incoherently eclectic soundtrack.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Still, the movie\u2019s intention is obvious: Harriet is understandably trepidatious about being in music-filled spaces, which serves as a way of showing how emotionally damaged individuals cautiously reemerge into <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> environments. Though we\u2019ve waited more than a decade to see what \u201cThe Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby\u201d director Benson would do next, everything about that big-swing debut (a love story split into \u201chis\u201d and \u201chers\u201d perspectives, then braided back together) suggested he was capable of something far less conventional than this. It\u2019s a cynical play from such a romantic-minded director.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
