Directed by George Nolfi, The Adjustment Bureau presents to the viewer an unconventional love story in that fate isn't a matter of circumstance, but rather a meticulously controlled process governed by a higher order unbeknownst to all. David Norris (played by Matt Damon), a young politician running for governor of New York comes across Elise Sellas (Emily Blunt) under peculiar circumstances. Finding himself inexplicably infatuated he's determined to be with her. However, it seems that this higher order has different plans for both of them, interfering with their lives to make sure it never happens. In discovering that his fate was never under his control, David is determined to ensure his life becomes his and be with the one he loves.
With such an enticing premise, this film is an incredible love story with an element of sci-fi. The chemistry between the two leads immediately has you rooting for their success and has you frustrated and wanting more as they attempt to be together. Addressing this philosophical question as to whether we really do have control over our fate by displaying the power of love, the film is somewhat relateable. It's through this that the audience becomes committed to the characters and the story.
Furthermore, with stylistic directing that effectively traverses the landscape of New York, the film is visually stunning and beautiful to watch.
