Utterly blunt

Rating: 5/10 (16 August 2016)

Well, sure it is a sweet loving and touching story but I was totally surprised by Clarke's performance. I found her giving a lot of effort to be a sweet/innocent/naive little girl/woman. During the film, she never stops smiling (sometimes it gets really awkward), her relationship with that other guy is far away from any other 7year old relationship according to her choices and generally how she deals with it.
Claflin is wandering from scene to scene and I truly found it difficult to feel his situation. He is also - oh yeah - smiling inexcusably throughout this film and I overall thing that this movie came to an end with a really immature way in a point that the film really underestimated any viewer's sense of logic.
Just give it a try on a Sunday evening but in my opinion it's inevitable for you to attach yourselves with these characters, feel any sympathy or a feeling for cry. Just a blunt mediocre film. Pity for Clarke. I was expecting far more from her.
