Porto - Uma História de Amor

Sometimes when you meet one person ... you feel something. And while I don't necessarily mean love on first sight, it is something similar for sure. And you can see and feel that there is a connection here with the two individuals we see. And to be honest who can blame Anton Yelchin (or his character for that matter), when it comes to the wonderful Lucie Lucas? But as always it is not as easy as it may seem at first.

And just because there is a connection or a spark, does not mean that they both will be able to explore that ... or will they? You may feel that she acts irrational at a certain moment, but you will see that there is more to it. Yes we make decisions that are not always in our own best interest ... especially when it comes to love ... how are we supposed to know at that exact moment? Sometimes it is nice to get a second chance .. will that be the case here?

Honestly, I am very glad someone made this film in a time when love-movies seem to have everything except love. It's one of those films that lives with you long after watching it. Because it is raw, it feels real, it is deeply sad and simply beautiful. But it is definitely not for everyone. Porto is that kind of film only those will really appreciate who had something similar in their lives. A very strong connection with someone that lasted just a brief period of time. A week... maybe only a night.

It is shot on film, and looks fantastic, it feels poetic though it is never over stylised.

It shows love and connection in a painful yet very elegant and poignant way. The peace is slow, the atmosphere is strong. A truly independent and "human" film.

It doesn't show anything new, it might be a bit too simple - but its honest approach makes it absolutely watchable. For those who have ever really loved someone, and then they said goodbye - it could be an important experience.

Love this film and also saddened by it as it was Anton Yelchin's last film before he passed away. You seem him as a older man in this movie that hits even harder. What a talent and beautifully executed film.

RIP Anton yelchin untimely death. It was not a movie but a scene. Extended. It was not a story. Didn't like it.

At no point in your rambling incoherent movie were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought everyone is now dumber for having seen this, I award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul.
