Netflix's new romantic comedy 'Voicemails for Isabelle' has been leaving viewers emotionally devastated as it climbs the streaming charts within hours of its release. Landing on the platform this Friday (June 19), the film boasts an ensemble cast and an affecting twist, currently sitting at number two on the streamer's film chart.
Its sole rival is the harrowing true crime documentary 'Maternal Instincts', making this new original production essential viewing for anyone seeking more uplifting entertainment for their weekend evening. However, fair warning: 'Voicemails for Isabelle' opens with an emotional blow when protagonist Jill (portrayed by Zoey Deutch) loses her cherished sister Isabelle (Ciara Bravo) within the opening moments, as reported by the Mirror.
Battling to process the death of her closest confidante, Jill starts recording voice messages on Isabelle's former number, unaware it has been reallocated to Austin-based estate agent Wes (Nick Robinson). Wes finds himself gradually developing feelings for the captivating voice he hears and opts to travel to San Francisco to meet Jill, but could his concealed truth destroy their burgeoning connection?
Also starring comedy icon Nick Offerman as Jill's overbearing patisserie boss Chef Bastien, 'Voicemails for Isabelle' delivers both warmth and wit. Nevertheless, the film's emotional heart and numerous gripping twists have left audiences reaching for tissues as they flocked to watch it the moment it arrived on Netflix.
One X user confessed: 'As an older sister, "Voicemails for Isabelle" DESTROYED ME!' Another remarked: 'Well Voicemails for Isabelle made me an emotional wreck. It was super cute though.' Someone else penned: 'Voicemails for Isabelle- the new Netflix film that's genuinely took 13 minutes to bring me to tears and was an absolute joy to watch start to finish.'
A 10/10 IMDb review enthused: 'This movie was absolutely amazing. I am not joking when I say I stayed up [until] 2:00 am just to watch this movie [the] minute it came out. And the minute it ended I came straight here to leave a review. It is wonderful! It's deep but also such a feel good movie! I would highly recommend. I loved it. This may be my new favourite rom com!'
And a final admirer gushed: 'I wasn't expecting to feel so much while watching this but there I was, right there with her. I never cry watching movies but this was so raw and beautiful that I just went with it. Best movie I've watched in a very long time and the incredible sound track made it even better. Absolutely loved it and would watch it again in a heartbeat.'
