Amazon MGM Studios has unveiled the official first trailer for "Love of Your Life," an upcoming romantic drama starring American actress Margaret Qualley. The debut preview arrives right as the feature prepares for its world premiere at the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival on September 13, where it will screen as part of the prestigious Special Presentations lineup. Following its initial Canadian festival launch, the sweeping emotional drama will enjoy a select theatrical release starting October 7, followed by a global streaming debut on Amazon Prime Video on October 14.
In the feature, Qualley portrays Maya, a young woman whose life changes after a chance meeting with Charlie, played by Gabriel Basso. Their rapid connection creates a bright, shared vision for the future, but an unexpected personal tragedy shatters those plans. Forced to rebuild her sense of identity and purpose, Maya travels to Europe to navigate her grief and rediscover who she is when everything familiar has slipped away. Along her journey, she meets Felix, played by Aaron Pierre, who gently encourages her to open her heart to new emotional possibilities.
Directed by Oscar-nominated cinematographer-turned-filmmaker Rachel Morrison, "Love of Your Life" marks her second narrative feature directing project following her 2024 debut "The Fire Inside." The screenplay was written by Julia Cox and sparked a fierce $2 million bidding war among major studios in late 2024. Actor Ryan Gosling serves as a producer on the project alongside Jessie Henderson through their production company, Open Invite Entertainment. The project features a strong supporting ensemble that includes Patrick Schwarzenegger, Catherine Keener, Tamara Lawrance, and Corey Johnson.
Qualley has established herself as one of the most versatile acting talents of her generation. She previously earned critical acclaim and major award nominations for her transformative performance in the hit limited series "Maid" as well as her role in "Fosse/Verdon." Her impressive film credits encompass high-profile studio and indie productions, including Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," Yorgos Lanthimos's Oscar-winning feature "Poor Things," and the 2024 body-horror release "The Substance."
The arrival of "Love of Your Life" continues a busy period for Qualley, whose upcoming slate includes dark comedy and thriller projects like "How To Make A Killing." As film critics and festival audiences assemble in Toronto for the world premiere, industry observers expect the picture to draw considerable attention for its intimate examination of recovery and romance. The subsequent October theatrical release and Prime Video launch will bring her latest leading performance to cinema goers globally.
