    ... to see what happens stick-around to-very-end.. "It lasts as long as it lasts."

    ... there's only one critic's review in English shown on IMDb (and there got panned)... and ten (including this one) user-reviews (all-liking-it)

    ... cast-exceptional, hardly a weak performance among entire-ensemble... this a very well made enjoyable-little-film, relating much more about how our shared-experiences-differences classify-disunite-us and how we must cope-live with them and each other

    ... and would bet there's few sticking around till after the ending credits passed-ended, to see how the final scene of the movie was fully played out.. exactly how-what made sense for the both of them and their respective-opposite-families... Port Talbot only being a morning's drive from London, yet world's away-apart when family-backgrounds-clash.

    A Thoughtful film

    Excellent acting. Considering it was a low budget film is was very cleverly crafted. I didn't take terribly to Vida but her character added gravitas to their relationship. Certainly wouldn't describe it as a romcom; it was complex and veiled in deep sadness. I really want to see how their lives progress.

    Not All It Could've Been

    Good story with two fine leads in this cute love story. The lead actress is gorgeous, cute and very charming. A delight to watch on screen. It's a true portrayal of a relationship, with all the accompanying ups and downs. The lead actor is pretty good, but not ideal in the role. Unfortunately there's some very annoying music which pops up here and there. There's a few side stories that go nowhere and serve no purpose other than filling time. After the one hour mark there starts to be some silly and unnecessary parts which detract from the overall tone of the movie. But the real detractor is the animated parts that just appear out of nowhere. It derails the momentum and flow of the film, unfortunately. Anyway, the first half is worth watching and while the second half is merely adequate. Supporting cast is mostly effective. The flaws are few are numerous, yet the movie is still enjoyable. I'm not sure how we end up with a black man being a member of one of the families, but every movie these days needs at least one. And also the obligatory gay person, which wasn't needed in the least and added nothing to the story. It actually made for a rather silly and frivolous scene coming out of left field.

    Romantic Clash of the Classes

    Well ... Big fan of Johnny Flynn who simply outshone Vida in this Love is Thicker ... So I could be biased But he has a great future ahead of him - as long as he can lose that "I've-been-using-crack-on-the-side complexion.

    If you've been raised in a working class family and moved into, at least, an educated, aspirational class, this movie will profoundly resonate. Neither class has superiority in love and hate, trust and betrayal, happiness and grief, but the differences still cause great awkwardness ... Loved the soundtrack
