Key Quote: Litwak: “I started rewatching a lot of my favorites, and eventually came upon When Harry Met Sally, and that movie is a masterpiece and I love it, but I watched it and it felt kind of out of date… I wanted to find a way to bring that to our modern times. When Harry Met Sally… doesn’t talk about kind of how your career factors into your identity and how fascism is rising outside, and there are all these different things that make up who we are and how we define ourselves and what we look for in a partner.”
