Terrible casting of Shailene Woodley. This movie could've been soooo much better if they had casted a good actress that looks at least similar to what's described in the book. Woodley is pretty terrible as Jenny

I don't know what all these other people saw, but I saw true love in the making and two souls who just couldn't quite reach each other even when it was all their hearts desired, I saw that true love lasts a lifetime even if you are parted for half of it, I guess none of them have experienced real true deep soul love. Thats all I saw and that's what made it magic! I've seen this in real life, granted not an entire lifetime yet, but two souls madly in love who just can't quite make it. I know it's real and its heartbreaking.

Although promoting infidelity and lying, it's still not a bad movie overall.

This movie was so good, I always watch the preview because it all such a good story. Even though she cheated on her husband that didn't really do anything it was just a loveless marriage and Callum turner is WORTH IT. Their chemistry and the story was kept me entertained the whole time. i love it

I never lost interest in the plot. The costumes and scenery were gorgeous. And I cried at the end. What more could you want? It's a love story.

Indecision and miscommunication, it turns out, are timeless.

London Evening Standard

An adaptation of a Jojo Moyes novel, here's a half-baked movie that offers two love stories for the price of one.

Rated: 2/5

Ella Kemp

Empire Magazine

By plaguing the elegant and tender moments of forbidden love with try-hard dialogue and illogical meet-cutes, everything that should make your heart sing just sounds out of tune.

Rated: 2/5

Juanma Fernández París

El Nuevo Día (Puerto Rico)

Jones and Woodley are more than capable of capturing the humanity of their characters... Where the film falls short is in being able to provide any astute or profound observations about the romantic complications that fuel the film's central plot.

Film Cred

The Last Letter from Your Lover is not the epitome of romance, as the cast lacked chemistry and the messages lacked meaning.
