If you can excuse the uneven family drama, stream Faraway on Netflix for the beautiful Croatian landscape and the sparkling chemistry between Krauss and Bogdan.

Rated: 6/10

A predictable rom-com elevated by the charming performances of Naomi Krauss and Goran Bogdan, plus the Croatian scenery is absolutely breathtaking.

Rated: 3.5/5

Faraway is far from perfect, but the ways in which it hits the mark are funny, true, and satisfying.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Faraway is a satisfying middle-of-the-road drama of self-discovery with a tinge of romance. If you focus less on the plot vehicle and more on the moment-to-moment parts of Zeynap’s journey, you’ll get on just fine with this one.

Rated: 6.5/10

Faraway is nice, but “nice” doesn’t always mean “good.”

Easy to digest, satisfying romcom with some decent laughs. With nowdays unavoidable pinch of L gb tQ content at the end.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Real and relatable. The journey of a woman through life’s very real and raw challenges. Giving hope to many. Made me want to quit my job, life in the city and move to a stable overlooking breathtaking water.

Eu adoro essas comédias românticas simplesinhas e água com açúcar, leve e deixa nosso coração quentinho... Trilha sonora deliciosamente perfeita enquanto nos maravilhamos com uma paisagens estupenda (a bela Croácia), uma mulher madura que de um dia para o outro decide deixar tudo para trás em busca da herança de sua mãe, e descobre que vai muito além de apenas bens materiais, ela redescobre sobre a paixão, o tesão, o amor à vida e o amor a si própria... Tudo muito gostosinho de desfrutar...

An offbeat, thoroughly enjoyable romantic comedy. For adults. Not a teen movie.
