The premise wasn’t large enough for the movie. The actors made the love story convincing. There was great beauty in the choice of locations and images. But the lack of depth in the singular point to which the flow of the movie travelled was too superficial to anchor the film, it couldn’t rise to greatness. It’s too bad, there were such great elements. I wish I could have given this film more than a 7 (okay) out of 10. [Ethereal Romance]
I fully enjoyed this view on a dark love story. The actors were great and had effective chemistry. There are a few misconnections in the plotline, but they didn't ruin the story overall. It's a one time watch though, not a rom com that will cycle through the years.
If the lead Tessa had not been played by Joey King, I'm not sure I would've watched it. I've been a big fan of hers since Ramona and Beezus in 2010. She makes a lot of teen angst/romance movies, and I've appreciated the ones I've seen because of her. In this one, the only other actor I knew was Fear the Walking Dead's Kim Dickens as Tessa's adoptive mother. The plot had some pieces I thought were effective, even if it's not high art.
The good things:
** The chemistry between Joey King and co-star Kyle Allen was effective while portraying both the love story, both good and bad.
** I've got to put Joey King again in here. The camera loves her.
** The resolution of the love story was excellent, and the ending of the movie was appropriate.
The bummers:
-- Tessa's problems were related to her abandonment by her parents, but the movie didn't indicate why it created such disarray for her. Her past affected her ability to love and trust herself, so I would've liked to know more.
-- The seance sequences could've been cut short, although it does show the support of her friend.
-- The hotel scene toward the end was a little hard to believe.
Do yourself a favour and watch Ghost again instead.
So long and boring fairytale.
Gorgeous and deep. It's certainly not a great masterpiece of the 7th art but it has the merit of being coherent and with a beautiful message at the end. I cried a lot because I think that movie resonated with me.
Not only boring, but also tries to smuggle lgbt propaganda. Would give -1 if I could.
meh movie shucks man what was that
My brother in christ, this movie is a abomination

So boring to death.
If you want a romantic movie that's not your thing.
My advice go watch something else
