About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a bittersweet, nostalgia-tinged romantic drama about starting over and relationships across time; Not for you if you dislike soapier storytelling, slow emotional build, or period sentiment like Atonement.
Pros: layered romantic drama; relatable life choices; sweeping New Zealand scenery | Cons: melodramatic tone; conventional moments; some steamy scenes
