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.”

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.

It's like a cross between a cheap romantic comedy and a spanish telenovella. There are a few decent laughs along the way, but it is ultimately not a memorable film outside of the general showcasing of Croatia and how undoubtedly everyone watching this film is thinking about how nice it would be to escape everything and go to a place where you can sit and stare at the sea from your fancy, simple cliff barn/house thing and forget the awfulness of the world around you. It's pretty predictable. But charming none the less. I'd say put it on if you are ready to read and don't mind some simple escapism.
