À travers ma fenêtre: L'amour pour horizon

I absolutely loved Through my Window (A través de mi ventana), so I was super excited to watch the second film based on the book series by Ariana Godoy. I knew it would be a little problematic in that part of what made the first film so good was the great hate to love romance. Here in book/film #2 the couple is together just separated by distance, with Ares studying medicine at a school in Stockholm and Raquel studying literature at home in Barcelona. The conflict came in the form of Ares being adrift, questioning why he is studying medicine at all and really just missing Raquel. Raquel is also spending far too much time on her phone with Ares, but she does have an opportunity to send her manuscript to a publisher. (I really liked that it ended up being Yoshi's legacy.) Ares comes home for a break and whisks Raquel off for a seaside get reacquainted vacation...but his two brothers (Apollo and Artemis) end up crashing the vacation with their various friends.

I didn't enjoy this film nearly as much as the first film...it suffered from the midst of the story as it ends not where fans will want it to end...feeling undone, or as the narrator says broken. I did enjoy some of the sun, sand and sex that I would want in a summer film, but personally I can't wait for the third and final film. Is this a recommendation...yes, I still love the characters of Raquel and Ares and as a romantic, I still find myself rooting for them. I also think you need to see this in order to watch the third film. I wouldn't recommend this as a stand alone film however, you definitely need the context of the first film...even though that could be watched as a stand alone film. I find myself upset with Artemis and wanting to beat him with my shoe, and I am actually feeling sorry for Apollo as he seems to be a good kid...Raquel's friend Daniella probably needs to be hit a few times with a shoe for the way she treats him.

I do understand that this story was a watt pad story but being as it was made into a movie if should have been way better. The movie could have had a great continuation of the story but it was not. The movie was very poorly executed, all over the place and did not make sense for half of the movie. If you watch the first like I did you would be very disappointed how rushed and poorly made movie was. As well as a lot of the so called "plot" was not made understandable by really anyone in my opinion. For someone who has watch made movies similar to this and has not really likened those, this movie falls even under those movies. I would still recommend you watch it to get your own opinion but this was mine..

If you like films such as After, and Culpa Mia (My Fault) or the first film for this sequel you will love this! I understand it's not for those who don't love the intense romances as it does belong to a very specific genre of fairly simple and repeated plots that many have grown to love.

This is the first film from this 'watt pad' conversion genre that has put me through an emotional rollercoaster in such a way, whilst being unpredictable and far more realistic than most. Even with all these additional factors it maintained romantic, thrilling and of course, entertaining.

So if you loved the first film, I highly recommend the sequel. Cannot wait for the next one to come out!

We all know, that the whole story was kinda toxic since the beginning.. but the first film was interesting, exciting, there was stuff happening.. in the second part alas, nothing really happens. The film is long nearly 2 hours and all you will see are lame montages like it's a music video.. i hate when netflix do that.. we don't want to see a music video, we want to be able to relate to the story.. So literally, it was so boring, nothing happens, even their acting was a lot worse than the first film.. the actress lost some weight in this one, but charisma is also missing... I was waiting for this second part for so long and i was so disappointed.. the plot is missing, the ending is depressing and honestly I don't get how it's helping the whole story.. the chemistry between them was so much in the first film, now is literally gone? What happened.. why they ruined the series? You can't even follow the storyline because there is no storyline at all, it is a hot mess... it's so dull, lacking in every aspect.. I am sad they ruined the potential this series had.. you will see only sexually suggestive scenes where they eat ice-cream lol like we care... no passion, no love..

After the first part which was ok (classic teen love story with few plots, not a masterpiece but decent), this was is such a disappointment.

The relationships between people are confusing, the dialogue is weird and unrealistic, no story was actually covered deeply - is this a story about struggles of long distance relationships? Faithfulness? Friendship? They tried to have several points, but the realisation is just weak.

The 'event' in the end - so so unnecessary. It is like they have created a movie for us to watch something while we wait for the final plot in the 3rd part. This could have been done so much better.
