“Do I Love You?”: A Northern Soul Serenade

“Do I Love You?” dances to the beat of northern soul, a rhythm that pulses through the hearts of three Hull-based twentysomethings. Directed by John Godber, this well-performed gem finds solace in dance post-Covid. Natalie (Chloe McDonald) and Kyle (Emilio Encinoso-Gil) grapple with degrees, while Sally (Martha Godber) cares for her gran. Their mundane fast-food drive-through jobs transform when they discover the uptempo music and spirited dance style of northern soul. Classic tracks punctuate short scenes, sassy steps choreographed by World Northern Soul Dance champion Sally Molloy. Laughter intertwines with pain as their lives shift, reshaped by the soulful rhythm. While inner lives remain glimpsed, “Do I Love You?” invites us to find our own beat in this northern soul comedy.
