“A fresh take on a toxic relationship.” Utopia has unveiled an official trailer for an indie film titled I Love You Forever, marking the feature directorial debut of two filmmakers Cazzie David & Elisa Kalani – who both wrote and directed this together. The film initially premiered at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival last year. This “all-consuming modern love story” opens at Quad Cinema in NYC in February and will be on VOD after in time for Valentine’s Day. Mackenzie is a disillusioned 25-year old law student whose love life consists of non-committal hookups and situationships from hell. When she finally has a “real life meet-cute” with Finn, a handsome and charming journalist who isn’t afraid to show affection, she starts to believe true love may actually exist. When Finn’s darker side begins to emerge, Mackenzie finds herself trapped in a tumultuous cycle of emotional abuse, and must confront whether her true love is too good to be true after all. Starring Sofia Black-D’Elia as Mackenzie, with Ray Nicholson, Jon Rudnitsky, Cazzie David, and Raymond Cham Jr. This looks like it starts kinda sweet, then gets really upsetting as it goes on. Watch with caution.

The current dating landscape is bleak at best, and no one is more aware of this reality than Mackenzie, a disillusioned 25-year old law student whose love life consists of non-committal hookups and situationships from hell. When she has a “real life meet-cute” with Finn, a handsome and charming journalist, she starts to believe true love may actually exist. However, when the honeymoon phase wanes and the cracks begin to show, Mackenzie is forced to come to terms with whether or not she is to blame or if her love is actually too good to be true. I Love You Forever is co-written and co-directed by filmmakers Cazzie David & Elisa Kalani, both making their feature directorial debut after working on the series “Eighty-Sixed” previously. It’s produced by Diablo Cody, Lauren Hantz, Liana Weston, Mason Novick, Evan Silverberg, Billy Mulligan. This initially premiered at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival last year. Utopia will debut I Love You Forever in select US theaters starting on February 7th, 2025 this winter. For more details head to film’s official site.
