Enjoyable, but missed opportunities

This was fun to watch for the period vibe, but Shailene Woodley was miscast. Although she is a wonderful actress, she is neither glamorous nor vulnerable enough to make it work. Her strong suit is emotional range, but she is more of a strong 21st century type than a lonely, forlorn socialite. I never forgot that she was in costume and she didn't have much chemistry with "Boot." Instead of sparks, it was more like they were flinging wet matches.Speaking of costumes, Woodley's wardrobe was often ill fitting or anachronistic (Did fashionable people still wear pillbox hats in 1969?) and once even made her look dumpy when she was supposed to be radiant. She would look good in a grocery bag so how did they even do that? Better 60s music would have taken us there and touched emotional chords. I thought the two elder leads had more chemistry and it was great to see Ben Cross. Sorry to see him go.Amnesia...really? Is this the Young and Restless? Nobody buys that.Not bad, but I liked ithis movie better when it was called "An Affair to Remember."

Dualing Stories Take Away from Full Story Development of Either One

Two storylines (past + present) CAN work in films but it's a delicate balance. Honestly, the present day romance should have dropped and the 1960s story should have been the focus. As it were, the present day story tried to be a rom-com which wasn't very funny and the 1960s got shortchanged with too many montage sequences to tell the story instead of actual scenes. Montages don't build feelings for the characters! Cinematography and costumes and lighting in the 1960s story was gorgeous. A lot of potential here, but it should have been a limited series instead of a movie in order to do the book justice.
