Ali & Ava (out Jun 30) is a Romeo & Juliet style tale set in England just outside of Leeds. Two unlikely 40-year-olds from very different backgrounds form a romantic connection. They’re happy… but everyone around them seems to have problems with the relationship. The two leads, played by Adeel Akhtar and Claire Rushbrook, are both excellent and there are worthy conversations shared between the pair. Grade: B+.
