Faraway

This movie is so fresh and cute just real, plus funny.

The actors are great, the story is familiar but still different.

I like that it is a romance about 40+ people and is just so Croatian with jokes and the way Bogdan, as Josip behaves it is so typical but in a good way. The island is, of course, beautiful; colors, people, food, flowers and the atmosphere is very island-like.

It is just feel good, relax and have a good time movie with very good actors.

I gave it 10 because as a Croatian I'm very happy with this movie's representation of people and land usually is just klishes used for all East European countries but not this movie. Go check it out!

It's a mature woman's discovery of her maternal ties and herself. It feels somewhat like a mix of Mamma Mia 2 and Eat Pray Love?

Kinda sweet, feel good movie. Nothing outstanding or ground breaking to be honest but overall I think is a good watch if you're looking for something "quiet". There's not a lot that happens here that's like exciting or wild but it's a good closed story.

My favorite is the scenery and the vibes. It just feels like I also want to venture into a country home near a beach and spend my time looking at the sunsets.

FYI: There's some sequences of nudity nothing too sexual.

In some ways the story reminds me of Shirley Valentine: a woman leaves her dull life and uninterested husband and goes to the lovely Mediterranean. In this version she finds out that her recently deceased mother owns a house on an island. From the first day on the island and onwards, her life gradually starts to change to the better. She makes new friends and enjoys her new environment. She also has to handle conflicts and, eventually make up her mind about how to act as the new owner of a small house with a breathtaking view. It's a warm and sometimes funny movie with quite a few surprises. All actors give their character good credibility and personality.

The story is cute, the views are absolutely wonderful, but what I really loved about this movie was that they took a real woman to play the role, not trying to look younger or perfect, just a normal woman showing a normal body and her wrinkes. It makes women like her, to feel good about theirselves and believe that they are also worth of having a new love story in their lives.

The actor is very charming but also not perfect, has a beer belly which for most of women is not important. Usually the men are the ones who want perfect look women.

The soundtrack is also very nice. The movie has some funny parts that will make you laugh.

This is a rom com, so one cannot expect an oscar winning script or a Christoper Nolan universe.

However I found the film nicer and more relatable than usual, due to the leads being plus 45, but without stereotypes or actors/actresses who have undergone too many cosmetic surgeries.

It felt real, with the struggles of a woman who does not realise how unhappy she is until reality hits her in the face. Also the scenery was beatiful, and the fact that people talked in German, English, Croatian and with real accents, made it more real than the usual Hollywood rom coms.

I found the "Macron" reference and jokes specially funny.
