A Moving Second-Chance Romance

I really enjoyed this film. The story follows Laela and Colin as they reconnect in Los Angeles 23 years after being separated during the 1998 Jakarta riots. That history gives their reunion real emotional weight, and you can feel how much time has passed for both of them.The movie handles nostalgia in a thoughtful way. Their shared memories feel specific and personal, and the quiet moments between them say more than big dramatic speeches would. There's a tenderness in the way they circle around old feelings while dealing with present-day responsibilities-her looming deadline and his upcoming move to Pennsylvania add a steady undercurrent of urgency.

This Time starts off as a warm, nostalgic look back at an exciting past, but as the story unfolds, it becomes something much deeper. As the characters reconnect, they're forced to question whether they're holding onto cherished memories or clinging to feelings that were never truly reciprocated. Sebastien Tobler does a fantastic job of balancing the sweet, sentimental moments with the emotional complexity of unrequited love and nostalgia.Overall, the film beautifully captures that bittersweet mix of longing and reality, showing how easy it is to romanticize the past while avoiding the truth. With heartfelt performances and an emotional depth that feels incredibly real, This Time is a thoughtful, relatable story.
