Right now, Tom Blyth’s name is everywhere due to the success of the new Netflix original, People We Meet on Vacation, which just premiered on the 2026 movie schedule. That charming rom-com about friends becoming lovers is a lot of fun (and quite romantic), but there’s another movie starring Blyth that was brought to my attention in the wake of the film’s release.
Though it’s technically romantic and has a “will they, won’t they” feel to it, the 2025 thriller Plainclothes is a major departure from the light and breezy Netflix romantic comedy. The movie essentially follows an undercover cop as he goes through an identity crisis following a tragic loss. That said, this tense, poignant, and visually stunning directorial debut from Carmen Emmi is one random movie I’m glad I watched.
