Only You

Acting is great. Story is heavy but realistic. You can feel story, every single moment while watching. So, realistic story, great scenario with perfect acting...you can learn something.

I have many films on my wishlist that I have no idea why i put it on there or who recommended it. Only You is not the sort of film that I would normally watch but it was on my watchlist for some reason and I'm kind of glad it was .

After a chance meeting on New Years Eve while waiting for a taxi home, Elena and Jake soon enter into a whirlwind relationship. Together, they explore what it takes to create an enduring relationship out of a fast love.

There is no getting away from it , this is a modern day love story but instead of it being like one of those hallmark sickly vomit inducing stories , this is about the ups and downs of a relationship. When people can't conceive it puts a massive strain on couples as this film shows and it's even more stressful when the woman's biological clock is ticking.

Josh O'Conner and Laia Costa are excellent in this . They are totally believable and you feel invested in their relationship and the process they are going through to get pregnant.

I found it quite hard to distinguish Josh O'Conner from his role as Prince Charles in The Crown but that's not anyone's fault as this was made before that role .

The film is daunting in its realism, a beautiful love story.

Modern tale of lust, love and labours. Only You is also full of humour and energy. O'Connor was extraordinary in God's Own Country, and he's on good form again. But Costa is even better.

This is a painful romance, and i may have opted for a more lacerating ending. But the mood of love wins you over.

I felt compelled to write my first review, as this film doesn't have many and totally deserves a shout out.

The actors are fantastic, the story realistic and whilst, at times quite depressing, a heartfelt tale beautifully told. Definitely worth a watch.
