Lonely Planet

I found this movie to be quite beautiful. I love the simplicity and unlikeliness of the love story. It has a "quietness and simplicity", which a lot of people will confuse for "boring" or "slow" which leads to a great love story and a feel good vibe. Never expected Liam Hemsworth and Laura Dern to have such good chemistry but it really makes me want to find whatever they have because I am the same type of "quiet, solitary" person and it makes me feel like there someone out there for everyone and that the universe guides you, whether you want to or not, in the right direction. You should definitely watch it if you're in a "deep" state of mind and are looking for a beautiful escape :)

I understand that this movie may not be everyone's cup of tea but it sure does resonate with me. It has a coherent story that's very relevant with today's time.

We rarely get to see a young man older woman love stories but most of such stories looses logic at some point in the narrative. That's exactly where this movie shines. If a love story like this has to happen, it should happen like the narrative of the movie.

I am a book lover and may be that's why I enjoyed the movie so much. Also, as I mentioned before, this may not be a cup of tea for everyone as there's no major twists and turns in the story but are very subtle ones that are interwoven into the narrative.

My suggestion is to go in with a calm and relaxed mind and you will enjoy it.

I was pretty tired when I selected this movie on a Friday night after a long stressful week. Almost thought I'd fall sleep. However, I was pleasantly surprised that the characters were easy to understand. Setting was beautiful and no side characters or stories to distract the viewer. I was very much in the story and loved it. Liam acted very well and did justice to the character. One thing I didn't understand was "why did she have to lose her luggage?". Having to watch one of the main characters in the same outfit was unnecessary. Lazy writing or cost saving? Apart from this it was a feel good movie that had a happy ending. Perfect for winding down with a glass of wine.

Every time I'm seeing a movie like this, I'm hoping that is going to be another 'Cairo time'.

That movie is beautifully made and played and the chemistry between the characters is top notch.

I think that Laura Dern is a very good and talented actress but here she doesn't have much chemistry with Liam Hemsworth. And that's the most important part in this kind of films, I mean the whole movie is relying on those 2 characters, and if they don't have it, well ...is all going down the drain.

I love Liam Hemsworth! I saw him in 'The Dressmaker' with Kate Winslet and I think he did a pretty good job.

Well this being said, i think this movie has it moments, but it could have been a lot lot better.

Ok, so this is really hard to write because I do genuinely like Laura Dern and as a Hannah Montana girlie (lol) I always had a crush on Liam Hemsworth which is why I was very excited for this romance/drama Netflix film.

It's no news that Liam always plays the same character in every film he is in but there is just no spark between him and Laura. I was really not convinced that a 30 yo man is hot for an older woman.

The biggest disappointment was the rest of the casting. The girl who plays his girlfriend is so unlikable and is really unconvincing as an actress.

I do think the story had potential but it was unfortunately portrayed very sad and depressing throughout the entire film!
