A great story

Rating: 6/10 (14 January 2015)

To start: I have not read the book, but I would be willing to after watching this movie.
I overall liked it. It's a great romantic drama between two musicians as they find how to work out their relationship with different opportunities for each being presented.
What I did not like about the film was the constant flashbacks. They we're very necessary to unfold the story line, but I feel having them run at the same time as we are dealing with the "crash" scene was distracting. I felt like I was having to balance two different stories at one time, and honestly they took away from the climatic and dramatic crash. It didn't have time to build up. (someone may comment that it is how it is done in the book, i have no doubt if it we're, but whereas that might work in a book, it's not very effective in film.)
