Will Gluck’s rom-com “One Night Only” takes a bold, provocative premise — a society where premarital sex is banned except for a 12-hour window — and turns it into a surprisingly intimate, emotionally driven story. After test screenings revealed audiences were uncomfortably distracted by explicit scenes, Gluck dialed back nudity to preserve the film’s emotional core. He argues today’s viewers find such content intrusive in theaters, where shared experience matters more than private consumption. To keep things authentic on set, he hired an intimacy coordinator and cast real-life couples, sparking unexpected chemistry — and controversy. Critics are split: some call the tone conservative or off-brand for a rom-com, while others rave about the leads’ undeniable spark.
