Upgraded is a genuinely good romcom. This is basically Cinderella if the title character was Anna Delvey. A girl desperate to live the high life and happy to pretend to be someone else (even by accident at first). The movie is elegant, the humour present but not as heavy as usual in this type of comedy. The actors are all very likable and believable. The romantic aspect is weirdly gentle and slow paced without a single sex scene which feels somehow realistic. Will's personality is not particularly developed apart from being a very nice and well educated perfect boy but what else should we ask. Archie Renaux is a great choice, different from the always blond and Royal type British characters. Camilla Mendes sells well the ambiguity of her naive but career driven persona. Very enjoyable duo for a very enjoyable film.
