POSITIVES
This is that great love story that you might have romanticized having when you were an idealistic teenager. Enjoy seeing that put on screen.
Narrative mix of chronological flashbacks, the present, and the supernatural elements, all work really well together.
There are several beautifully shot simple scenes of Tessa navigating through what life has tossed at her, along with some involving set pieces that will drive your interest in seeing the story through.
Joey King and Kyle Allen are amazing here as Tessa and Skyler respectively. Wearing their heart and emotions on their sleeves, how could you not root for these two? Shout out to Celeste O'Connor, Kim Dickens, and John Ortiz, for being really good in their roles as well.
Stellar soundtrack that features some good song choices.
NEGATIVES
Not exactly a unique romantic drama. So expect some familiar tropes, cliches, and derivativeness to keep things from being too fresh of a movie experience.
Might be a bit melodramatic a lot of the time? Might not be to your liking perhaps?
The character of Skyler is just a little too perfect? I mean he’s not perfect-perfect, but damn is he really kinda perfect for that dream boyfriend to have.
Third act might have taken things too far with the premise. I know supernatural elements are involved here, but let’s put some logic to certain plot decisions now can we?
If you somehow don't like "Never tear us apart" by INXS… well, sorry?
