Jovana M. @J_loves_movies Jun 20, 2026 I liked the movie a lot! Joaquin and Liv where so cute, I liked the entire plot and a feel-good vibe of the movie setting. Old movies are just the best, men are masculine and women feminine and it's just normal, compared to any of the movies nowadays with all the perversion and weird subliminal narative.

The film has an interesting setup and a strong cast, though the story feels smaller than expected. The performances are solid across the board, helping keep the film engaging even during its slower moments. The period setting is also handled well, giving the movie a nostalgic tone that fits the story nicely. At times, the pacing drifts and the emotional impact doesn’t always hit as hard as it could. It’s not a bad film by any means, but it feels like it plays things a little too safely and never reaches the emotional highs it seems to aim for. Overall, it’s a respectable drama with good acting and atmosphere, just nothing too crazy or unforgettable. I rate it a 6/10.

We all wish we got to see more of Jennifer Connelly but Liv Tyler's performance and rawness really filled that void and gave us a memorable iconic character.

After awhile it became overbearing and I lost interest. It's either a obsession with sex, money and power, or inrequited love. There's not a stable person in sight. There really wasn't any reaolutuin for the neurosis continues to the end of the film. Hard to care about a movie that's bascialll watching one car crash after another with no resolve in sight. It was OK but I wouldn't recommend it. See more Dec 12, 2020 This moving was boring, corny, dull, unoriginal what else am I missing .... 1.7. Acting wasnt terrible given the script but cmon . This really felt like a cheap lifetime movie See more May 7, 2019 "Life is not a cafeteria" Good movie set in the late 1950s, early 1960s. A coming of age film that has ping pong, work, academics, class, cocktail parties, love, & loss. There is also forgiveness, love, & redemption. Well worth seeing. See more Read all reviews
