The greatest film I've seen in a long time

Rating: 10/10 (11 September 2013)

I really don't know where to begin with this one. I usually write that I am a film student or that I'm 16 or that I saw this with my mum or my best friend or something along the lines of I am a film nerd but truthfully I think this films too good for my writing clichés. I have never in my life found a film SO emotionally engaging. I have never seen a film with characters SO relatable and SO believably amazing. It's just....wow.
OK where to begin? OK I'll start with Tim. Domhnall Gleeson is just perfect. He really his. His accent, his persona, his chemistry with Rachel McAdams, his relationship with his father and his sister and what he says about her at the beginning...that she is the most wonderful thing in the world and his hopeless romanticism as well as his disbelief when his father tells him about the time travelling. The thing that was so amazing about his character was how he just seemed...normal really. How he was extraordinary and funny and appreciative of everything but he was just so ordinary yet so different at the same time and I found him so relatable and beautiful....and just....wow. (that phrase will be used A LOT in this review) OK Tim's dad. (Bill Nighy) First of I LOVE Bill Nighy. He was stunning in this film....seriously flawless. His character was funny and inspiring and just....wow. How he tells Tim is just hilarious and how they play table tennis and oh! His speech at the wedding is just SO beautiful...it actually made me cry and when he dies and Tim has to say goodbye and Tim goes back and they go on the walk they did when he was a kid was just so beautiful...I'm actually crying writing this review. He really reminded me of my dad actually....competitive, funny, strange and undeniably insane yet thankful for every second of his life....that's what I want to be like.
The sister....Kit Kat, Katie, Kittle Kattle. Oh my gosh was she AMAZING! SERIOUSLY I LOVED her SO much...her character was charmingly funny and friendly and such a great person yet fell down some wrong paths...when she got hit by the car...I cried SO much. She was just...seriously hilarious yet so relatable and lovable. The film would definitely have not be the same without her.
I could just go on and on and on...I haven't even mentioned how beautiful Rachel McAdam's character was or how much I loved uncle Bernard who is quite A LOT like me or how AMAZING Richard Curtis is as a director but I'm going to end it here and say that this review REALLY does not do this incredibly inspiring, ore creating, extraordinary film which is now my favourite film EVER justice. I would rate this film a million out of 10 if I could....it's just beautiful and if you haven't seen it. See it. It really is flawless.
