I fell for this couple & the space they made for each other despite huge differences in beliefs. Definitely worth the heartbreak.
A really beautiful story that unfolds at its own pace, great music and performances.
A thoughtful, emotional drama with interesting characters and a very unpredictable story. Plus, an excellent original soundtrack
Heart wrenching with poignant scenes around the fragility of life, relationships, and happiness. Great music but no reprieve from despair.
Dramatic, very well written from a psychological perspective
The music was great, even though I don't like the genre much. Heartbreaking story.
One of the saddest movies you'll ever see, but in the most beautiful way possible
This is one of my favorite movies. Such a profoundly moving and sad story but at times also uplifting. Loved the music.
Good film but a bit too much emphasis on the heartbreak
Beau et horrible à la fois. Une histoire qui vous fend le cœur
