Watch then rewatch

Rating: 6/10 (21 September 2019)

The movie portrays two very different aspects of love through people in very different stages in life. Most of the movie plays out like a typical romantic comedy, but there is a depth added by how the characters view and learn/teach what it means to live. It addresses a controversial issue with grace, and broadens the perspective of the true value of one's life, and love- that life is not just about being, and love is not just about being together. Clarke and Claflin really make the movie - their emotions, gestures, expressions make the movie so memorable even when parts of the movie are more predictable. It's not a one time feel good movie, but so much more meaningful when you watch again, truly considering each character's emotions and thoughts as their lives come together.
