Stayed true to the book. Tearjerker!

Rating: 8/10 (17 June 2016)

Having absolutely fallen in love with the book, my expectations for this movie were somewhat high. It did not let me down! It felt very different from your generic romantic chick flicks and it stayed so true to the book. The characters were cast well - I find Emilia Clarke a little cringe worthy in GoT but she was excellent as Lousia and the chemistry between her and Sam Claflin was great, really believable. As a whole the film flowed very smoothly. Nothing dragged on or felt too rushed. There are also some laughs in there which add a little bit of light-heartedness.
A beautiful story with packed with emotion and a bitter sweet ending. If you loved the book then I would definitely recommend. Be prepared to cry!
