Love Sarah

Judging from the other reviews, this movie seems to have divided opinions. From a purely technical point of view, in my opinion, the movie is very well made. A nice story, well structured screenplay, and good performances from a quite impressive cast. My guess is the themes explored around loss and grief may not be everyone's cup of tea but it really depends what you are looking for. Again though, I thought it was a nice little watch.

Definitely not a comedy, but has funny moments, more romance than anything, well written and acted story. I wasn't disappointed.

Really enjoyable romantic comedy set in London (I think Marylebone High street) about a small Cafe / Bakery. A great cast led by the always brilliant Celia Imrie makes you engage with the storyline. A feel good movie that left me with a smile on my face. I hope you like it.

A delightful film in every aspect that lifts the mood and implores us to be less cynical. In these times and hereafter, more bridges have to be built and we have to look after each other and this film celebrates that to the hilt!

I was left with such a sweet, lingering feeling at the end that I felt grateful to the entire team for making it...It must have taken a great deal of conviction to do that.

Turning loss into something special and powerful takes tremendous amount of work. Loss pushes us to think of what really matters and we hopefully learn to value humanity, kindness and affection much more. That message truly comes across in this film.

All departments excel. Production Design and Cinematography as well as Music, Costumes and Sound Design offer a lovely view of London. The script helps us focus on the good in people and in that holds a mirror. An amazing achievement for the producers to have managed to film almost entirely on locations in Notting Hill and they succeed from start to finish. Remember, this is an independent film without any studio backing and it has superb production values!

Special mention to its director! It's her debut film!!!! It is extremely difficult to get a film made no matter who you are, and Eliza shines with her quiet grace, her personal sense of style and her determination to make a film of value. I am not surprised that the film has sold many worldwide territories already.

I read some unpleasant reviews on IMDb and I found them extremely counter-productive. There was no reason to be nasty and mannerless when personal disappointment could have been conveyed constructively.

In any case, I am sure this film will reach audiences across the world and in these dark times, give them a reason to smile...

To start, this movie was a very nice change after of all the bad that followed the world 2020 due to Covid. Although the story starts out very sad it turns into a very heart warming tale. If our movie theaters were open (they are not yet in the Pacific NW of USA) I would have gladly paid full price to go see it. There isn't much trivia about it here on IMBD but I wonder if it was written from the writers own personal experience, in relation to loss. At the end of the movie there was a "remembrance" of a person who passed, as well as the song at the end, about love, missing you, its all for you (or something like that)? Maybe I just noticed (or perceived that) because I have felt that tremendous loss after my son passed. Anyway, I found this to be a joyful, wonderful story of love, loss and resilience. Thumbs up to the writer, directorial staff and the actors and actresses!
