I Will Make You Mine (2020).Three women struggle with feelings for the same man in this gentle, partly improvised drama.For her first stab at writing and directing, the actor Lynn Chen imagines resolutions for characters originally introduced in Dave Boyle’s 2011-2012 movies, “Surrogate Valentine” and “Daylight Savings.” The result is “I Will Make You Mine,” described in the press notes as a “semi-sequel” to Boyle’s films and — at least in look, tone and temperature — not dissimilar to its predecessors (The New York Times).
