Hugh Grant stars in A24 thriller about charming but deranged man who forces mormon missionaries into basement labyrinth

Could do a bait and switch where both guys are coincidentally interested in the same woman, they become aware of each other which sets off a nasty rivalry until they realize they are into their rival.

Bonus twist: the woman they’re interested in doesn’t realize they’re two different people because they keep sabotaging each other on dates like that time Frank Drebin took out Phil Donahue.

They eventually realize that they share all the same attitudes and opinions, tastes, etc and realize. This other guy is cool, hang out and discover in time… Actually… Is this love? Meanwhile the original love interest is utterly confused

We have a deranged lunatic vs missionaries? So, a movie with no one to root for.

Unless I’m seriously misremembering I think the only Hugh in the first Paddington movie was Bonneville. Though Google keeps trying to convince me otherwise…

Since the first movie I saw him in was Lair of the White Worm, I always found him a surprising romantic lead.

Can they also fall in love in a rom-com twist?

I’m hoping the trailer’s lack of gore and screaming means that this is going to be more like “Robin Williams in One Hour Photo.” Faint hope these days, but a Hugh Grant villain turning out to be a pathos sponge, could you imagine?
