You know, I read the synopsis and thought it was going to be a comedy, romance, and drama—so I was all in. But halfway through, I was completely blindsided! The movie really pulled the rug out from under me, honestly. It felt like Love Rosie for a while—everything seemed like it was heading in that direction, where they would eventually end up together. But then, the plans for the characters’ lives took a completely different path. It’s wild how many elements felt similar to Love Rosie, but the vibe of the whole thing was different, especially with that European backdrop. God, I love Europe. There’s just something about the colors, the atmosphere—it’s so distinctive.
There are other movies that hit that same note, with that kind of European feel. Like Call Me by Your Name (honestly, I don't think I’ll ever get over that movie), Blue Is the Warmest Colour (I was hoping for something a little more explicit, but I couldn’t even make it past 15 minutes—might go back to it later), and One Fine Morning (which I absolutely adore). I’m not sure what it is, but there’s something about films set in those specific places that just feels so different. Maybe it’s the way the light hits the landscape, or the way the characters interact with the world around them—it’s hard to explain, but I can’t help but love it.
And then, when that accident happened in the movie—ugh, I could feel it coming, but I was so not ready for it. I’ve seen scenes like that in other movies, so my brain kinda predicted it, but even then, it still hit me like a punch in the gut. That's when everything really takes a turn, and the weight of it all sinks in. My heart felt so heavy in that moment. It's such a powerful movie, though, even with how heartbreaking it gets.
Both movies definitely share those common themes: wrong partners, life decisions that spiral, and things not going as planned. And yeah, sometimes I get a little freaked out about my own future. Will I ever get that picture-perfect life or relationship? But at the same time, I think maybe it's time to focus on myself for a while—take a step back and just let things unfold as they will.
Even though the movies are similar, they both feel real in how they depict that sense of living with a broken heart or carrying around the weight of missed opportunities. They both show how hard it can be to let go, even when you know you have to. And that moment when he takes his daughter to that place—the place where he once shared a life with his love—it was so beautiful. It made me think about how, one day, I’d love to have a daughter of my own. I picture us lying together on a grassy field, no worries in the world, just watching the sky and talking for hours until we drift off into a peaceful nap. That image is just so serene, like pure happiness in its simplest form.
It’s crazy how watching a movie can make you feel all these things—especially when it catches you off guard. It almost feels like the film is talking to you directly, like it’s reaching into the quiet corners of your own thoughts and fears. But you’re right, even with all its heartache, the movie is incredible.
