Only You

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 .

This is a beautiful love story. The on screen chemistry between Josh O'Connor (The Durrells, grew to love him in the series and very excited to watch him again) and Laia Costa is electric. Although a little slow in parts where the concentration is focused on Elena (Costa) just thinking and walking, she is so pretty to look at though. It really made me think about the many women who go through IVF treatment, it consumes your whole life! This movie is a must see!

Good acting, swingeing music and a great story that's all you need for an awesome romantic movie! It wasn't anything special at all, It was just lovely to watch! this is the best romantic movie of 2019 i.m.o.

I never write my own opinions here, but because this issue is close to my heart because me and my wife are about to go through IVF so I had to write my opinion. So I have a couple of issues with this movie:

1) It's seems to me like the man (and in this case a much younger one) is the main victim of the non furtiliry issue, but in this case he isn't. Any couple that have been through this and stayed together will testify that both sides are suffering and it doesn't matter how has the problem. You can never leave the person if you truly love them and it doesn't matter how hard it is, because once you leave once it's over you won't come back...

2) Why not adopt a child? They could've explored this important issue but they didn't.

So I felt disappointed by the final 25 minutes of the movie, because what you saw isn't a pure love it's pity in my humble opinion...

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