La vita che volevamo

Telling a story can serve several purposes: propaganda, entertainment and make us think about existential issues. Most people are just looking for entertainment, which is not a problem in itself. But you can't expect every movie to have an impactful scene in the first 15 minutes, a fast pace or a big turnaround near the end, to get the viewer's attention. "What We Wanted" is a good example of a good movie that people miss because they just don't want to see "slow movies". This is a beautiful drama film, very well directed, beautiful in its delicacy, in its sensitivity, in its rawness, in its reality, in its sadness, with excellent performances, with special emphasis on the performance of Lavinia Wilson and the little Iva Höpperger.

Is a good story with the message that If you try your best to get something and you do not get it ...make the best of it and be happy with what you got. The confuse part for me was the Vacation ending of the family next door ...is not clear if they all go home at the end.

A wonderfull film about difficult times in life that we all go through. All couples who try and fail to have children should watch this movie. Excellent interpretations with impeccable cinematography. A devastating film.

It's amazingly filmed... beautiful images... great story, very tight... it deserves to be seen...

I enjoyed the movie, but it will not be a crowd pleaser. The movie is very slow, and does not have a clear direction when it moves.

The story is about a couple that is unsuccessfully trying to conceive and decides to take a break a go on vacation. What happens onwards is very human and relatable. It is not a feel good movie, but I felt enriched after watching it.

The scenes are beautiful and aptly convey feelings. The takes have a beautiful photography, and the movie overall is Oscar material.
