One notable effect of the COVID-19 pandemic is the massive reassessment many people have made about how they are spending their precious time on earth. The large number of people who have told their employers to “take this job and shove it” has been both a shock to the capitalist class and an inspiration to those who want to live more fulfilling, humane lives. Ben Lewin’s winning romcom, Falling for Figaro, takes on this phenomenon with humor and heart, aided mightily by its star, Danielle Macdonald.
