Rob Reiner’s 1989 comedy When Harry Met Sally is one of the most nuanced and multifaceted depictions of a modern romantic relationship in film history, and for good reason. Nora Ephron’s script, bolstered by strong performances from Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan as the couple in question, plays with ideas of interpersonal communication, the complexity of modern relationships, and the impact of beliefs and opinions on our interactions with people.
