Robyn S I really enjoyed Wish You Were Here. The film simultaneously explores new love with the emotions of deep grief and loyalty. Julia Stiles told the story beautifully with strong performances from the cast. I particularly enjoyed the performance of newcomer Gabby Kono Abdy as the best friend. I expect we will be seeing more of her in future films Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Suzana E Just watched "Wish You Were Here" and wow - I haven't been this moved by a love story in such a long time! The whole movie felt so real and honest, and I found myself tearing up multiple times throughout. There were these lines that just hit me right in the heart (in a good way!), and I've been thinking about them ever since. Can we talk about Helen for a second? As the main character's best friend, she absolutely stole every scene she was in. She was hilarious and brought such great energy to the movie - honestly wish we got to see more of her! Her friendship with the main character felt so genuine, and their scenes together were some of my favorites. The movie just got so many things right about relationships and love. It wasn't trying to be perfect or overly dramatic - it just felt real. There were moments that made me laugh, cry (definitely used up some tissues), and everything in between. If you're looking for a love story that feels authentic and will give you all the feels, definitely check this one out. Just maybe bring some tissues... you might need them!

It made me cry but also left me with a profound sense of hope and gratitude for the beauty of life and love. We need more movies like this. It's also the kind of movie that makes you want to read the book. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review Nicole L Loved this movie! Laughed and cried… the love story between Charlotte and Adam was portrayed beautifully, and wish we could have seen more of Helen - who’s character brought so much energy to the screen and reminded me of so many silly and sweet moments between myself and my best friends. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review Melissa C It was a great movie. Everybody should go see it. Grab your girlfriends and some tissues. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review Rebecca R Wish You Were Here has touched me in a way few films ever have. Not since Dying Young, Me Before You, or even The Notebook have I been so moved. Perhaps it's because I’m a cancer survivor, or maybe it's because I’m a sucker for a good love story, or perhaps it’s a little bit of both. Based on Renee Carlino’s novel, this movie is a beautiful exploration of love, hope, and the transformative power of finding a soulmate. Julia Stiles, in her directorial debut, did an incredible job capturing the essence of this story. Charlotte, played by the incredibly endearing Isabelle Fuhrman, and Adam, portrayed by the handsome Mena Massoud, are every bit as compelling and heartwarming as their characters in the book. The chemistry between the two actors is undeniable, and I found myself rooting for them from start to finish. A definite must-see—but be warned, you’ll want to have a box of tissues nearby. You’ll need them. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
