You saw it at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival
John Crowley crafted a simple, predictable romance story that’s nothing special, but he captures a beautiful performance with two strong performances from Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh.
We live in a cheesy age
Honestly, sometimes we have to enjoy a simple, cheesy romance story and checkbooks.
With good music, simple dialogue, and structure, it still maintains an emotional connection with the audience, as the chemistry and banter between the two leads is watchable and enjoyable
