A mature love story

I understand that this movie may not be everyone's cup of tea but it sure does resonate with me. It has a coherent story that's very relevant with today's time.We rarely get to see a young man older woman love stories but most of such stories looses logic at some point in the narrative. That's exactly where this movie shines. If a love story like this has to happen, it should happen like the narrative of the movie.I am a book lover and may be that's why I enjoyed the movie so much. Also, as I mentioned before, this may not be a cup of tea for everyone as there's no major twists and turns in the story but are very subtle ones that are interwoven into the narrative.My suggestion is to go in with a calm and relaxed mind and you will enjoy it.

Wasn't bad at all!

Added an Extra star for Laura Dern's impeccable acting. The film drew me in - had that nice slow burn.I found the gf a bit annoying and the overlap between the women was too short. Otherwise it has a happy ending.I'm just surprised that this has just about the same rating as inganno which was just a smutty soap opera - this was much better although it did seem like a travel advert for Morocco! ?Liam Hemsworth is easy on the eyes so that made it even more watchable. Found it a bit more mature and less impulsive than "the idea of you". Give it a go.Overall I'd give it a 6 and that extra star.

Enjoyable

It's a fun, predictable, romance novel-type movie with a typical arc of slow-burn romance, ultimately ending with conflict resolution. Pacing is good. I didn't think there would be as much chemistry as there was, but I was pleasantly surprised. Both lead characters went through self-reflection and personal growth. Liam Hemsworth did an amazing job playing Owen; his character development impressed me the most. Laura Dern was great as Kathryn, although I think the writers had more opportunity with her character.The way in which Owen and Kathryn meet for the first time is a little bit clunky. It's common for slow-burn romances to have awkward first meetings, but Kathryn's initial reactions to Owen are a bit contradictory to the character they are trying to portray her as. This is, in no way a reflection on Laura Dern's performance; the story implies that Kathryn wants solitude, yet she comes off a bit too flirty too soon. This could have been reconsidered. The rest of the story develops as it should. Owen's girlfriend is exactly what she's expected to be. Supporting cast is also exactly what is expected. The setting is fantastic.So again, it's a fun romance if you're looking for that sort of thing. It's not one where you'll need to break out the tissues, I would have liked a little bit more spice, but it's still enjoyable.
