Si je tombe

Man, this movie just has heart.

Probably not one for the Academy Awards but if I base my measurement on how much this movie could move my heart and lift my soul, then it was one of the best things I've seen in a while.

Sure, I'm a guy and as I'm in my thirties, this story seems a bit above by life experience. But I mean, I get it. It just speaks volumes about life, love and the human connection.

I wonder how something like this even gets made these days. Or are some big wigs awakening and getting tired of the same old same old Hollywood nonsense as well?

If you love a glass of wine and ponder about some mysteries of life and aren't afraid to connect with your soul, then this movie might be a good watch.

Gotta love the laugh out love moments as well. They are as sweet as they are bitter. The best kind, with lots of heart.

PS. If everything you watch must make sense, don't bother. Watch this one with your heart open.

Harry Connick Jnr we love you and so good to see you back in movies!

Such a beautiful setting,movie and music focussing on friendship,family values and lost love with a wonderful cast of local Greek actors.

Also refreshing seeing an age appropriate Gen X relationship for once. For me it was a cross between a Mamma Mia type storyline with dominant female characters and yet also a Crazy Heart type feeling without the country and western vibe. I wish more movies like this were produced providing such a non Hollywood vibe supporting local indépendant actors filmed on location in such a beautiful part of the world. More like this please 😊

A small film from Stelana Kliris, a newcomer filmmaker who is a South African-Cypriot woman. This is the first Cypriot film to be released worldwide through Netflix. Previously, she had only worked on small short films. However, for her first full-length feature, it's incredible how well she both wrote and directed it, surpassing the quality of many Netflix Original productions.

A small romantic comedy that stands out in many ways, surpassing many original Netflix productions. From the unique plot details centered around the "most popular suicide spot and love", which the story intertwines deeply with the complex romantic past of the male lead who is a former rock star. The film also incorporates music, seamlessly blending it into the story as if it were a musical. I highly recommend not overlooking this small film.

This fit for me on a lazy Sunday night. A romance, not unlike a Lifetime romance, only with a better caliber of acting. It was predictable and any twist in the action was easily figured out way before it happens. There's something to be said about this kind of watch though. It's not Sound of Music or Gone With the Wind, but it does have its place. It's for a time when you don't have to think too much, nor do you want to. It's just to enjoy a sweet second chance romance with a good cast from courtship to happily ever after. There is music involved too. Trigger warning of the subject of suicide as a kind of back story. No part of the cast dies or anything. Just be aware.

John Allman (Harry Connick Jr.) is an aged one-hit rocker. His latest album flopped. He moves into his newly purchased house on Cyprus. Unbeknownst to him, it's on top of a cliff where many people go to commit suicide. He befriends local sassy singer Melina (Ali Fumiko Whitney). He reconnects with old flame Sia (Agni Scott) who is the subject of his one big hit.

Harry is good at depressed while being slightly funny. I always like Harry even in bad movies. In this one, I like all the other characters as well. I really like that Melina sees him as ancient. I did worry about Hollywood doing Hollywood things until it becomes obvious who she is. There is a big confrontation and that's really the high point of the movie. The movie runs out of drama. It really needs one more issue to top off the drama. All in all, I like the characters. The awkward issues resolve themselves and it's an enjoyable watch.
