About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a romantic, dreamlike journey about memory, healing, and second chances with a mix of humor and heavier feelings; Not for you if you need fast pacing or clear explanations, like in When We First Met.
Pros: imaginative fantasy road-trip; heartfelt self-reflection; strong lead performances | Cons: slow pacing at times; forced plot devices; chemistry may vary
