 Rated 7/10
One of those I'd been hearing a lot about, and usually such movies don't disappoint...

(As with the "Before" movies)

...But this one lacked the magic for me.

That said, it's the last ten to fifteen minutes that kicks it up a few notches in terms of wrenching the tears from my head; Those last few minutes between James Garner and Gena Rowlands a straight up square kick in the guts.

Of course, romance = tragedy (otherwise, it's a fairy-tale, or misplaced optimism :), and it's easy to see where this is going from the off, but the majority of the narrative being centred around Gosling and McAdams in what is little more than a pretty standard Hallmark romance tale of hoity-toity (haven't heard that expression in a while, I bet !?!! :) well-to -do girl meets boy from wrong side of the tracks whom family do not approve didn't exactly blow my bolts to be honest, and it doesn't really prepare you for just how affecting those last minutes are.

Straight up tragedy I'd say, more than romantic , movie, of the kind to settle in with and enjoy.

Difficult not to forewarn of spoilers here, but anyone who has dementia in the family needs to have a heads up on this, as it might just knock you sideways a bit, in a way you were not expecting from a romantic movie.

Gosling's good, McAdams is excellent, Garner and Rowlands are better still.

Pretty good movie overall, just not sure it is all that reputation would have you believe though, with regards to the common standard of romantic / rom - com movies.
