Soothing but somewhat lacking
I watched this movie on a long-haul flight last night. It was a slow and peaceful watch, but it didn't wring any emotions from me.They liked each other in high school but have been apart for 10 years. This was problematic for me from the standpoint that he could get training in cello pretty much anywhere, and she had the type of job that could be done anywhere, so the distance for that long period of time didn't make sense. There were a couple of phone calls, but that's it.
I did like the flashbacks, though neither one of them looked much different, just in hairstyle.
Since the whole of the movie was of them apart, trying to realize their own dreams, I couldn't feel their love. I honestly thought it would end differently than it did. It was a cute ending, but again, nothing tugging at my emotions.
The ML did say something to one of his orchestra friends about the FL that was very swoony, but again, didn't he think he should share this information with the FL?
The filming was kind of sepia toned, which I thought was interesting. Basically, for me, it was something to pass the time.
Was this review helpful to you?
