Significant Other premieres exclusively Oct. 7 on Paramount+.
A couple go into the woods on a Pacific Northwest backpacking adventure and discover something unforeseen… Dun, dun dun! That’s the premise of writer/directors Dan Berk and Robert Olsen’s latest, Significant Other, which reads about as stale as campsite jerky. But surprise, surprise, the duo know how to lay out their tropes like kindling and then burn them all down to mess with audience expectations. They also wisely rely on the skills of Maika Monroe and Jake Lacy, who play the established couple Ruth and Harry, to earn the bigger swings within the script and constantly keep us guessing.
There are too few movie experiences that actually surprise these days and Significant Other exists in that sweet spot of being a strong character piece that also harbors some story turns that don’t exceed the modest constraints of the overall story. Monroe and Lacy embody Ruth and Harry as a couple with genuine affection for one another. She’s tentative and prepared, while he’s supportive but more adventurous. As they embark on a camping hike on the Red Ridge Trail, there is a strong vibe that he’s helping her overcome some fears but she’s also no shrinking violet. Spending time with them as they talk, walk, and playfully set up their campsite is understated yet revealing if you pay attention.
