SXSW ‘Wishful Thinking’ Review: Watching Lewis Pullman and Maya Hawke Fall In Love My Destroy the World But It’s Worth Dying For

Wishful Thinking is a new kind of romantic comedy from director Graham Parkes. Charlie (Lewis Pullman) and Julia (Maya Hawke) love each other. But is their love enough to stop the world from ending? Especially when they’re the ones destroying it?

Julia and Charlie have a gift: If they’re happy, everything works in their favor. If they’re upset about anything, the world collapses. Literally, there’s an earthquake because they’re upset at each other. The rules of their power are simple: Be happy and in love and everything is fine. Argue about anything and the nuclear holocaust probably will happen.
