Love at First Sight is Netflix’s latest romantic comedy, and it has a memorable soundtrack to go along with the budding romance between its central characters. There is no movie without music, and Love at First Sight, starring Haley Lu Richardson and Ben Hardy, understands that the biggest gestures, or the most pivotal scenes, would be nothing without the songs, which are mostly covers, and score playing in the background.
Love at First Sight, based on the novel The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith, sees Hadley Sullivan and Oliver Jones falling in love at an airport as they’re both bound for London. It’s not the first rom-com to utilize well-placed needle-drops to amplify its story, and it certainly won’t be the last. As for the film’s soundtrack, the song selections have a way of enhancing every scene they’re featured in, giving Hadley and Oliver’s love story a sense of melancholy and joy. Richardson and Hardy already have great chemistry together, and the film’s soundtrack highlights that as well.
