This is quite an insightful film, in terms of depicting an age gap relationship with a lady who struggles to conceive and the way the relationship is affected by that. The performances are good and it felt quite raw and open. Its not a film I'd want to watch again but its certainly worth seeing if it sounds of interest to you, yes.

There's honesty, and basis on a type of relationship that repeats in real life. I did expect there'd be more of an emotional connection between the main characters, though. Overall, very good, but the lack of emotional depth stopped me from loving it

Top reviews from top critics, too critics really? Well at long last a female lead that doesn't own her own Hollywood mansion, isn't caked in makeup and isn't living in la la land. Yes, this is realistic, touching base on real issues insights and home truths on relationships and what babies are products of. The reason why? A typical hormonally charged night out with two lame characters, results in some rushed family planning. A foreign lead, whose accent gets in the way, shares a conversation whilst in bed about things feeling mechanical and weird, well yes the whole film did to be honest. Slow paced, dull and predictable. I cant think of anything else that stood out. As for the second act of the film, centred around injections and some unnecessary Irish music, this was all just a mess. Clear as day to me that these top critics were easily swayed. Odd to me how a lot of other films were slated.

Just watched this as one of my friend's recommendations after watching The Crown and I can say josh O'Connor never failed in his acting chops while presenting such a beautiful story.

The beautifully streamlined screenplay is as economical as it is unexpectedly revelatory.

The result overcomes a rather threadbare narrative in the late stretch to offer a distinct and grown-up love story, with its tough and tender elements held in fine balance.

The end result is a film that is quietly profound and full of intimacy, just beautiful.

Both O'Connor and Costa do what they can with the material but it isn't enough to give credibility to their story.
