Haley Bennett & Jack Whitehall Bring Vintage Romance to SXSW London! (And We’re Here For It)
- Haley Bennett and Jack Whitehall opened SXSW London.
- Their new movie is a total period rom-com.
- It’s a refreshing change from all the tech talk!
We just saw something amazing happen at SXSW London! You know, that big festival everyone’s always talking about. Usually, it’s all about tech gadgets and cool new digital stuff. Super modern vibes, right?
But guess what? This year, they mixed it up. And we are so here for it. Haley Bennett and Jack Whitehall just kicked off the film section. They premiered their new movie: ‘Virginia Woolf’s Night and Day’.
Can you imagine? It’s a period rom-com! Old school. We love that. Think gorgeous costumes, beautiful settings. The whole aesthetic just screams classic romance. A total visual treat.
It really changed things up. Right on the first day of the festival’s second run in London. A big splash, showing off something totally different. And we think that’s pretty cool.
Our Take
We think it’s brilliant. SXSW London making space for a good old-fashioned love story? Yes, please! It shows that even with all the new tech, there’s always room for a timeless tale. Especially one that looks this good. It reminds us that culture isn’t just one thing. It’s everything. And how some stories, like Marilyn Monroe’s, just keep drawing us in, generation after generation. Sometimes, you just need a good rom-com to feel that magic.
