Love Is Thicker Than Water

It will not change your life, nor your day but it is a realistic love story with some good surprising moments...

This movie is so beautiful and special. Considered to be a date movie, a kind of romcom, but it is more - about life. About family, your background, making choices. Good actors. Lydia Wilson is as always great. A must see. Go there, with your husband, with your love, with your friends.

At times difficult to watch but a mostly fascinating look at the challenges couples share when they come from differing socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. Johnny Flynn and Lydia Wilson are a quirky couple living in London who have a mostly annoying relationship that often comes off as mean spirited and passive aggressive in their stubborn inability to give-in to the power struggle that results from her wealth and his working-class background. Common class tropes are explored as they consider the possibility of marriage between one another and ultimately discover that the challenges of marriage to each another brings the additional complications of being married to their in-laws.

Well ... Big fan of Johnny Flynn who simply outshone Vida in this Love is Thicker ... So I could be biased But he has a great future ahead of him - as long as he can lose that "I've-been-using-crack-on-the-side complexion.

If you've been raised in a working class family and moved into, at least, an educated, aspirational class, this movie will profoundly resonate. Neither class has superiority in love and hate, trust and betrayal, happiness and grief, but the differences still cause great awkwardness ... Loved the soundtrack

... there's only one critic's review in English shown on IMDb (and there got panned)... and ten (including this one) user-reviews (all-liking-it)

... cast-exceptional, hardly a weak performance among entire-ensemble... this a very well made enjoyable-little-film, relating much more about how our shared-experiences-differences classify-disunite-us and how we must cope-live with them and each other

... and would bet there's few sticking around till after the ending credits passed-ended, to see how the final scene of the movie was fully played out.. exactly how-what made sense for the both of them and their respective-opposite-families... Port Talbot only being a morning's drive from London, yet world's away-apart when family-backgrounds-clash.
