Which Brings Me to You

10/10 a damn good film

Most other people will probably give it a 5/10 and that’s fine, this movie isn’t going to work for the majority of viewers….
It’s a love story told in a different way to how I’ve ever seen before and if you look into it very deeply you will see it loosely follows the normal format, man and woman meet, slowly fall in love, split up and then at the last minute come back together again.
The thing is this movie is very subtle about it, it’s more of a story about how we all have messed up and broken up with people that seemed to be just right, the mistakes we have made and how it scares us all.
There are two very sad moments were you will start to well-up, but it doesn’t linger on them for long and pulls you back to the story.
No over acting, just simple depictions.
Good storytelling, but simply done.
Subtle music, just there in the background.
Well timed, not drawn out or hastily done.
So yes 10/10 is maybe over the top, but I’m ready to watch this again very soon and would happily rewatch it many times in the future…..

Plus, I wouldn’t mind there being a follow up to it sometime, think there’s plenty to still be explored here…

A picture about pretty shitty ordinary life of pretty ordinary people with ordinary stories. But damn it's good 90 or so minutes with beautiful actors and not so bad plotline.

I think there needs to be a category for rom-coms that transcend the traditional meaning behind the label. While the movie starts off innocently enough (an almost-hookup at a wedding), what follows is deeply intimate. The characters bond by sharing their past mistakes and often wonder if it left them broken. I don't know if this is meant to be metaphorical or not - maybe the point was to show that our histories (for better or worse) make us who we are today. Either way, it doesn't matter. I thought that it was a fresh take on dating and the "are we broken" question. I don't know if this works with any other leads as they had ridiculous chemistry. At the end of the day it is another movie in the rom-com bin, but I could have watched it again when it ended and that is one of the highest compliments that I could pay a movie.

It's only February but I already know this was the dullest movie of the year for me. And when I say dull, I mean it to describe every aspect. Characters, acting, writing, directing, soundtrack, ALL SO DULL.
