The new Netflix film \u201cVoicemails for Isabelle\u201d<\/a> stars Zoey Deutch as Jill, a promising pastry chef whose life is shattered when her sister, best friend and confidant Isabelle (Ciara Bravo) dies. Jill\u2019s way of coping is to call up and leave voicemails on Isabelle\u2019s old phone number, not knowing that it has already been reassigned to Wes (Nick Robinson). After listening to Jill\u2019s private messages, Wes becomes smitten and seeks her out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

When the duo finally meet, they do so on a bench overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge.

I feel like the Golden Gate Bridge is that crossroads because so much life happens there, from people getting engaged, to commuting, to working out. And she\u2019s just watching it all happen.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
