A Year and Change

I don't understand the low ratings. This drama is realistic, funny and moving.

With all the negativity in this world, it seems that some viewers can only relate to tragic and sad dramas. This movie isn't that. It has its sad moments but those moments genuinely contribute to the overall positive tone of the movie. It's a feel-good piece that conveys a message that Change is possible and that life is way simpler than what most people nowadays make it to be.

I give it 10/10 because we need more positive films like this one. Well done.

P.S: This is my first review here ever. I'm glad I wrote it and will definitely recommend this movie to family and friends.

Always like uplifting human drama. They spoiled this one with the Hollywood required dragging the holy name of JC thru the mud - just one time as is most often the case to symbolize their disdain for pure good.

The writer of this movie seems to have been writing from a personal experience or of someone close to him. Sure unlike most of the romantic movies, this one was different. Mainly because it covers all aspects of love.

I mean even before we watch a romantic movie, we already know the ending. Yet this was a total surprise. I like how it displayed self love. Which by the way, most of us lack today.

Owen needed to look for love in himself first before he could be able to find love again. In turn it made him a better father too. His relationship with his ex wife even improved.

As a first time director it's not bad...... I am enjoyed it. Although it was a bit dragged out.

Thank you

These millennial that don't understand life yet are giving it bad reviews.. wait till you get older children and then start writing reviews.. love this movie

The concept was interesting and the complexity of the nuances of real life were interesting, but the acting and script seemed a little hallmark-y for the content. A reflection of the fact that it was Casey Affleck's first attempt at directing, it was almost hard to watch because the acting was so unbelievable. It did, however attempt to address personal issues and growth, but could've done a better job.
