More traditional to this genre is the resentful-turned-affectionate nature of Lucy and Nick’s relationship: When Lucy calls Nick a hoarder and Lucy calls Nick a pessimist, that’s the kind of competitive banter that we know eventually leads to love! The result is a "Humans of New York"-style opportunity for people in the city to connect over shared loss and humanity, and that idea is the film’s freshest-an invitation for viewers to consider similar experiences in their own lives.
Convinced that “There are broken people out there like me, people that need to let go and move on,” Lucy decides to use the tagline “Leave your heartbreak” to advertise the gallery. So is born the Broken Hearts Gallery, a corner of Nick’s hotel where people can drop off the items they’ve clung to long after their romantic relationships have ended. In each other, Nick and Lucy sense opportunity: Maybe Lucy, with her art background, could assist with designing the interior of the hotel, and maybe Nick, with all this space on his hands, could house some of Lucy’s exes’ memorabilia. Lucy, still unemployed, alone, and steadily irritating her friends with her listlessness, is searching for a way to get rid of some of her broken-relationship detritus. Nick, who has been working on his dream boutique hotel for five years, is out of money and needs help keeping the project going. After that first meeting, the two bump into each other again weeks later.
#The broken hearts gallery driver
In a meet-cute for our current age, a drunk and despondent Lucy plops herself into a stranger’s car, mistakenly believing that it’s her Lyft home, and in the kind of plot twist that could only exist in a rom-com, driver Nick ( Dacre Montgomery) indulges her by dropping her off. Instead, she’s completely devastated when he dumps her and she loses her job on the same night.
To her longtime friends and roommates, law student Amanda ( Molly Gordon) and model Nadine ( Phillipa Soo), Lucy can’t stop gushing (“I just can’t believe he chose little old me,” she says), and she thinks that maybe Max will ask her to move in. She idolizes her boss, Eva Woolf ( Bernadette Peters), and knows practically everything about Eva’s career and her perspective on art-information Lucy readily provides to her boyfriend and colleague at the gallery, Max ( Utkarsh Ambudkar). Written and directed by Natalie Krinsky, “The Broken Hearts Gallery” follows 26-year-old Lucy (Viswanathan), who works as an assistant at the prestigious Woolf Gallery in New York City.
