Narrative
An aspiring chef and a recent divorcee find their lives changed forever when a chance encounter brings them together in a ten-year, deeply passionate romance. Florence Pugh described filming the project as « one of the highlights of Alle Hazan’s [her] career » with all the ups and downs and real struggles that couples often face – a beautiful journey – including some unexpected devastating news.
In addition, some small details of the story were not convincing
Enough here. However, the film’s major flaw is its inability to evoke strong emotions.
In summary, this is a solid love story – sweet, pure and complete
It lacks the deep connection that elevates it from a sweet love story to a more compelling drama. You connect with the characters, but the connection isn’t strong enough to cause sadness or shock at important moments.
However, it doesn’t reach an emotional high that leaves a lasting impact
Although it could have benefited from a deeper emotional connection, I found it to still be an enjoyable film – subtle, true and pure!. Check out our list of exciting new films from this year’s film festivals, including Venice, TIFF, the New York Film Festival and more.
