🎬 You, Me & Her is the vulnerability of admitting that love alone isn't always enough to keep a marriage vibrant. Mags (Selina Ringel) and Ash (Ritesh Rajan) are a couple drowning in the "business of life"—parenting a two-year-old and navigating career stresses. Ash is chasing a legal weed business venture, while Mags is struggling with her identity as both a mother and a professional in her father's firm. The atmosphere shifts from tense and claustrophobic at home in Los Angeles to sensual and expansive during a "make-or-break" vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The introduction of Angela (Sydney Park), a free-spirited yoga instructor, acts as a catalyst for Mags to reconnect with a fun, spontaneous version of herself she thought was lost. The viewer feels the friction between tradition and desire as the couple contemplates a threesome not just for pleasure, but as a desperate attempt to save their connection. Emotionally, it is a story about visibility; it asks if we can truly see our partners for who they are after years of routine, or if we need a "third" to reflect our own needs back to us. Did you know? (Czy wiesz, że...)A Family Affair: The film was written by Selina Ringel and directed by her husband, Dan Levy Dagerman. Much of Mags’ background—being Mexican-American, Jewish, and multilingual—mirrors Selina’s real life, making the performance feel incredibly authentic. Award Winner: Before its wide release, the film was a hit on the festival circuit, winning over 15 awards, including Best Picture at the 2024 Mexican-American Film & Television Festival.Groundbreaking Distribution: The film was released in 250 theaters as an "alpha test" for a new distribution platform called Attend, which aims to give independent filmmakers more control over their theatrical runs. Focus on Communication: While marketed with the "threesome" premise, many critics noted that the film is actually more of a relationship drama focused on the importance of listening and seeing each other's perspectives rather than a raunchy sex comedy.
