Love Across Time

I like Aubrey Reynolds as an actress, she never seems like she is "acting", she doesn't seem like she is delivering lines. She always seems like she is just responding to the situation, as it should be. Also she doesn't wear much eye makeup and that helps her look beautiful, not artificial.

Here she is Chelsea Grayson, working for a USA firm that owns a very old English mansion that has fallen somewhat in disrepair. She travels there to facilitate a sale, the thought being it would be sold to ether tear down or be converted into some different type of property.

To save money her firm decides she will stay there for a few days instead of a hotel. She is warned, don't go into the basement, some say it is haunted. Being the curious type she goes anyway and sees a floor length mirror, it has a faint blue glow, and in the mirror she sees what looks like a nobleman from a different era. Like from 1799.

She meets the man in the mirror, Toby-Alexander Smith as Charles Barkley V. The script even has a few jokes about the USA basketball player of the same name. The story gets a bit more complex from then on but the two of them eventually start working on a plan to save the old mansion. It even involves an investment idea and a trick borrowed from BTTF 3 where Doc Brown writes a letter from the 1800s to be delivered to Marty in current time.

All in all a superior movie of this genre, very well made and entertaining. My wife and I watched it at home, streaming on Prime.

Although somehow, I thought this movie was going to Look at a time, travel more seriously (think Outlander) I still enjoyed it very much when I saw it was going to be more in the hallmark vein. However, it had enough gentle suspense, and the two leads had great chemistry, that I rated it an eight. The male lead was especially good and dreamily, handsome, and even the secondary male lead, the Scottish caretaker was a hoot! I thought it was going to hit him at the beginning, but then I ended up appreciating him. The scenery was gorgeous, and I had a little bit of dampness in my eyes at the ending. My husband even watched the whole thing with me and that is saying something! So, if you're in the mood for a sweet, light story, this might be perfect for you.

7.9 stars.

A rare romance that incorporates time travel and love, and it really works.

I remember reading a novel 30 years ago about a mirror and people who pass through it. This film has a similar type of mirror, and it reminds me of that fantasy novel for some reason, even though the novel was not particularly a whimsical romance, as it was a fantasy adventure with villains and magic.

This is the tale of a woman in the present, who is sent from America to Europe to purchase a centuries-old manor for a large real estate corporation. In the process of appraising the huge estate, she stumbles on a magical mirror, that can peer into the past. She sees a man from the 18th century who can see her from his side as well.

This is a love story that bridges time and culture. The plot becomes predictable at this point. Will he come to live in the future or will she jump into the past?

What is so wonderful about this film is that the chemistry is off the charts and the characters are endearing. Every aspect of the film is extraordinary, including the music, lighting, scenery and, of course, the romance.

Must see this every other year!

Excellent, not too dramatic, and I loved the pacing. The actors don't seem like they are acting, and the design, music, appearance of the characters, and scenery make this movie an overall 10/10. I absolutely loved this movie and I can say it is one of the best romance movies I have watched in a long time. I highly encourage watching this movie as a family as will most definitely be a heartwarming and enjoyable experience for all. The jokes are also quite funny and the contrast between the main characters is quite amusing. Overall, a satisfying storyline and ending that perfectly wrapped the love story.

I stumbled across Love Across Time on Amazon Prime and, yeah, total chick flick-but a cute one. It felt like a Hallmark movie that somehow wandered onto Amazon instead. The plot had all the cozy, predictable beats: small-town charm, mild time-travel twist, and just enough sappy dialogue to keep it sweet without being too over-the-top.

You can tell it was written with the Hallmark Channel in mind-it's wholesome, light, and wraps everything up with a neat little bow. Nothing groundbreaking, but sometimes that's exactly what you want after a long day.

If you're in the mood for something feel-good with a bit of heart and don't mind a little cheesy romance, this one's worth the watch.
