New Life

I don't like reading the synopsis, and because of the national title and the movie being narrated by my husband, I spent half the movie waiting for a tragedy to happen, these cute movies always generate extra suffering and some tears of mine at the end or in the middle, and he came willingly , it makes our hearts so tight, it's okay that nothing in the film is unpredictable, quite the opposite, but it's all so beautiful... Due to the national title and the film being narrated by the husband, I spent half the film expecting a tragedy to happen, these cute movies, makes our heart so tight... Passionate and sad...

Benjamin (Jonathan Patrick Moore) and Ava (Erin Thea) have grown from inseparable childhood friends into an adult loving couple. Their chemistry on screen works well, in my opinion.

However, this modern day "Love Story" has just too many contrivances and cardboard-like characters to be truly effective. The melodrama amidst the tragedy and grief in parts of the film may work for some viewers but I wasn't one of them.

All in all, although the movie tries to end on a poignant note, it was more of a depressing slog than entertainment for me.

This story focuses on the relationship between a loving couple -- and how they weather the ups, downs, and unexpected curve balls life throws at them.

Although there's a tragic twist (which drives a sad character to destruction in a few scenes), overall it's a family-focused film with a solid marriage at its center.

Language is limited to one "oh God" said in a heated moment, and while the main characters are very affectionate.

The message of the movie'd be: Keep going, no matter what kind of hardship comes your way. But the execution is flawed, and there's little here that makes Ben and Ava's story truly compelling to watch.

Great acting, great story. It shows you how special yet short life is, and no matter what happens, you must go on. I enjoyed this.

This could have been such a good film...why do Christians have such trouble with the telling of such a simple and beautiful message? I will only leave you with my opinion on one thing so as to not sound like a bore... The phony French accent! Really, why not just scream...Another amateur film!
