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...

... 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.

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.

Beautiful story. Great soundtrack too. Watch it if you love good love story movie.

Good story with two fine leads in this cute love story. The lead actress is gorgeous, cute and very charming. A delight to watch on screen. It's a true portrayal of a relationship, with all the accompanying ups and downs. The lead actor is pretty good, but not ideal in the role. Unfortunately there's some very annoying music which pops up here and there. There's a few side stories that go nowhere and serve no purpose other than filling time. After the one hour mark there starts to be some silly and unnecessary parts which detract from the overall tone of the movie. But the real detractor is the animated parts that just appear out of nowhere. It derails the momentum and flow of the film, unfortunately. Anyway, the first half is worth watching and while the second half is merely adequate. Supporting cast is mostly effective. The flaws are few are numerous, yet the movie is still enjoyable. I'm not sure how we end up with a black man being a member of one of the families, but every movie these days needs at least one. And also the obligatory gay person, which wasn't needed in the least and added nothing to the story. It actually made for a rather silly and frivolous scene coming out of left field.
