Which Brings Me to You

Jane (Lucy Hale) and Will (Nat Wolff) are strangers and guests at a wedding. She almost has drunken sex with him before he stops her. They start to talk about their past relationships.

My initial superficial take is that Will needs to be hunkier. It would help especially since his character pulls so many beautiful women. After that initial thought, my next hot take is that this is trying to be Before Sunrise. Again, this would benefit from an Ethan Hawke like actor. The main difference is the many flashbacks. I both like them and have issues with them. I would like Will to have fewer women and concentrate on setting up the final reveal. Juliet should be his first 'girlfriend' story and then the last flashback should be a repeat of the same story with the truth revealed. At the end of the day, I really like the attempt even if it's not completely successful.

I kept reading how this was a romcom, but it's definitely missing the comedy part.

Lucy Hale is great, Nat Wolff was ok, the soundtrack was horrible. I think the movie would have so much more potential but the soundtrack was one of the things that kind of killed it and made it quite boring.

It's always this mellow music with no exciting parts.

In my opinion the movie consisted of way too many slow scenes and too little funny scenes to lift the mood. I also don't get how they cast all these beautiful women as his ex-partners and these, well, not as attractive men for her. She had zero chemistry with any of them.

The chemistry between the main characters was also not the greatest. I was so looking forward to this movie but am pretty disappointed.

The bones are there, ready to be reaped of a ghost, yet the spectre is hazy.

I liked the plot. The chemistry was a little lacking, though the more poignant moments showed an abundance-so much so that I suspect some of the writing played a significant role in dampening the spark between the characters.

The characters as individuals and the way they related to each others shortcomings highlighted the best part of the movie. We all suffer the fear of rejection, of being unable and afraid of sharing our most horrendous selves, but the way they connected and sympathised inspires hope.

Ultimately, as a movie, a form of entertainment, it was, unfortunately, subpar. Still, I think it worth viewing.

You know, I'm sharing my first ever review here because it felt a crime this movie didn't have any and it just hit me so hard.

Not sure, either, if others will relate as well but it just hit home so hard to a relationship of the greatest love I've had that fell through due to heavy past and then on it's way to being together despite it all because love can conquer all (if you choose it).

Kind of felt very relatable. A different take on a story told in so many times and in so many ways. It felt fresh, it felt so heartbreakingly true. I felt the character's pain as my own. I felt their hope of finding the right piece of broken to make a whole as my own.

I get that this review is not some critical acclaim but it struck a chord. If you are a fan of long, deep conversations with loved ones (or someone that could be one), give it a shot. It might suprise you and you can find some of your own pain (and hope) in it.

The leads met at the wedding and spent the time together talking about their past relationships.

The movie has a heart but it would have worked if they had made the story a little better. Not some of the trash that Netflix pumps regularly. But the story becomes more unbelievable as the time goes on. I can handle some improbable things but it becomes ridiculous if overdone. They spend the whole movie talking with each other. The chemistry between them is somewhat lacking. The movie rests solely on the two leads which makes the chemistry between them everything. This is good for a casual watch. But can't recommend it to anyone who is not a rom-com fanatic.
