A perfect movie

Rating: 10/10 (27 March 2019)

This is a perfect movie. I am not alone in my affection for this movie (although it is ranked 5.3 by the critics at Rotten Tomatoes and Megacritics, the viewers rank it 7.9 in Trakt and IMdB and Rotten Tomatoes viewers give it an 8.5), so there must be a few of us who feel like this. Do you think critics become too battle weary to see things with the wistful hope of improbable optimism? I'd forotten how young Rachel MacAdams and Ryan Gosling were when they made this movie. These two young Canadians won our hearts as they perfectly inhabited their characters. Their young love was filled with enthusiasm and life, yet, James Garner and Gena Rowlands beautifully displayed love, long lived. I love the writing, the performances, the locations and the music, that haunts us, even after the last scene fades. I'm a romantic that still dreams of endings such as this. I give this film a 10 (perfect) out of 10. {Romantic Drama}
