Frequently asked

What's the best date-night movie?

Depends on the energy. Cozy: La La Land, Past Lives, About Time. Tense: Gone Girl, Knives Out, Parasite. Watchmeld reads which side you both lean and tilts the picks accordingly.

How long should a date-night movie be?

Most couples set a 100-110 minute soft cap. The Sommelier respects this by default; if you mark a long pick (Titanic, Interstellar) as a 'love', we keep them in rotation but flag the runtime.

Can we use this as a couple without a phone fight?

That's literally the design goal. Both partners onboard their taste once, the Sommelier surfaces 5-10 picks both will agree on, you each react with a tap. No 'you pick / no you pick' stalemates.
