Absolutely a positive disappointment

Rating: 9/10 (26 December 2014)

I was expecting something with the "romance" of Twilight and the tragical fate of The fault in our stars. But what I've seen was a piece of art. I usually don't fall for these teen romances but this movie was different. You think you'll see 2 hours of clichés and a boring love story but it wasn't those things at all. Mia's love was believable and the romance was intense, while still being presented seriously. I really liked the picture they gave us about Mia and Adam. Even though the fact that "she's never been on a kind of date" and then after 3 dates, sleeping with each other seems a bit unrealistic to me, I think they showed us teen love in a beautiful way. The movie also managed to maintain the balance between this side, the family tragedy Mia was going through and the choice whether to leave for New York. For me, Mia's story felt relatable and she was a character I could easily identify with, therefore the movie experience of her happiness and tragedy really touched me. The ending was on point, not much but enough and still touching. All things considered the word I could use to describe the movie is beautiful and that it was a piece of art. The cello parts made it sophisticated but still modern.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a movie so I can recommend it to those who are even a bit interested.
