Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"Emilia Clarke’s performance is winningly immersed in charming gawkiness and heartfelt sincerity while sporting a deliriously kitschy wardrobe heavy on eye-popping primary colors and loud butterfly prints." - 06/03/2016 RogerEbert.com
"Clarke pulls it off, exuding natural warmth and humor in a part constructed from artificial sweeteners....The actress is genuinely endearing, as is the admirably dry-eyed and acid-tongued Claflin." - 06/02/2016 Rolling Stone
"Director Thea Sharrock and her well-paired leads do nice work of growing the relationship organically." - 06/02/2016 Boston Globe
"[T]he film will feel familiar to anyone who’s sniffled through LOVE STORY or THE FAULT IN OUR STARS. It’s better than both." -- Grade: B+ - 05/25/2016 Entertainment Weekly
3 stars out of 5 -- "[The film] has an undeniable, if somewhat chintzy charm. Much of it comes from the spark between Clarke, who throws herself into a big-hearted performance as goofy wardrobe disaster Lou, and the laconic Claflin. " - 06/05/2015 The Guardian
"With their charm and good looks, Clarke and Claflin give the duo’s sublimated sensuality an undeniable charge, enhanced by the honeyed light of Remi Adefarasin’s camerawork." - 05/24/2016 Hollywood Reporter
