When will New Zealand get this year’s critically acclaimed time-loop rom-com? We let you know everything we know so far.
UPDATE 5/11: THE ANSWER IS YES, THERE IS A RELEASE DATE.
The Groundhog Day-esque time-warping comedy Palm Springs is one of the most hyped about films so far in 2020.
Directed by Max Barbakow, it is set at a wedding, where two strangers (Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti) relive the event again and again, unable to escape each other’s company.

Anthony Lane from The New Yorker called it “a dazzling vision.” The Chicago Sun-Times‘ Richard Roeper described it as “one of the year’s best romances.” Brianna Wellen from Chicago Reader said it “seamlessly blends romance, comedy, science fiction, and heart-wrenching emotional drama.”
Palm Springs was released in America on the video-on-demand service Hulu. So the big question for us is: when will the film get released in Aotearoa?
The big, fat, happy answer is yes. Prime Video has secured the film for New Zealand and Australia and will release the film on their streaming service from 20 November.
