About
If you enjoy talk-driven relationship stories with an arts-and-meaning focus, Certified Copy should feel rewarding, with beautiful scenery and standout chemistry; Not for you if you want fast plot momentum, clear answers, or are sensitive to long, multi-language dialogue like in Before Sunrise.
Pros: lovely Tuscany; strong lead performances; thought-provoking talk | Cons: dialogue can drag; some feel grating; plot clarity varies
