I’m not sure why the romance genre has taken to sending its central lovers to other locations, but the trend continues in Netflix’s Lonely Planet. This time, the characters — Katherine Loewe , a best-selling writer who goes on a retreat to finish her book, and real estate agent Owen Brophy , who’s at the retreat to support his newly successful author girlfriend, Lily Kemp — head to Morroco.
Their relationship evolves from something simple — they end up sharing a car to town — but they draw out the parts they’ve been only keeping to themselves. There’s a deep sense of self-discovery that permeates Lonely Planet, and it’s that which keeps the story interesting. The romance comes secondary and it’s often overshadowed by the story of discovering a newness of the self. To that end, the film could have used more romance, but there isn’t much passion or longing between the two characters.
