Conclusion: 4/5
I really enjoyed this film. A very underrated little film. Lovely to see a film set in London. This is Raine Allen-Miller’s directorial debut. The thing that makes this work is the fantastic script. Strong performances from the two lead actors David Jonsson and Vivian Oparah. A very uplifting and charming film. In a way it reminded me of the Before trilogy Before Sunrise (1995), Before Sunset (2004) and Before Midnight (2013). Look out for Colin Firth’s little cameo role!! The main themes are heartbreak and healing.
