Through his work at the architecture firm, Jonathan wakes up every morning and prepares his breakfast meal to go to work with a video telling him what will happen in his day. Jonathan could probably be described as a night owl and a little messy. After time, the only problem lies in the fact that these two characteristics inhabit the same body, which works through careful planning that may later change.
Jonathan, which serves a double dose of Ansel Elgort, is sure to satisfy fans of the sci-fi genre in a gently challenging way (even if symbiotic multi-consciousness isn't your thing).
Unfortunately, the film's structure works against our emotional involvement. The problem is that we see the story almost entirely from Jonathan's perspective.
Taken on its own confidently crafted terms, "Jonathan" is an intelligent, absorbing tale that provides an impressive showcase for "Baby Driver" star Ansel Elgort.
