When you’re a journalist and you come across a secret trove of love letters with no home address, there’s surely only one thing you can do, right? You decide to solve the mystery of the forbidden love and track down the lovers.

Such is the premise of director Augustine Frizzell’s drama/romance The Last Letter from Your Lover. A film that focuses on a pair of interwoven stories set in the past (1965) and present. Starring Callum Turner, Felicity Jones, Shailene Woodley and Joe Alwyn The Last Letter from Your Lover is based on the novel of the same name by Jojo Moyes.

The love story based in the past is the primary reason I’m interested. Then there’s Woodley’s character – Jennifer Stirling’s elegant style, plus my commitment to seeing her free of Alwyn’s seemingly hateful Laurence. Of course I’ll be there on Platform 2, Friday, at 7:15pm. Mind you, only to bear witness and nothing more.

Emma Appleton, Ben Cross, Ncuti Gatwa, Christian Brassington, Nabhaan Rizwan, Vilhelm Blomgren, Diana Kent, Ann Ogbomo, Alfredo Tavares, Louis James and Matt Mella also star.

The Last Letter from Your Lover Release Dates: July 23rd, 2021 (US); August 6th, 2021 (UK)…

ME BEFORE YOU (2016): The Things I Liked…

Me Before You (2016), Emilia Clarke, Sam Claflin

I enjoyed  Me Before You as one of those films you don’t mind watching even though you know what’s going to happen. The entire cast which includes Charles Dance and Vanessa Kirby, along with the leads, Sam Claflin and Emilia Clarke performed well. No one portrayal stood out for me more than the others. 

A favourite moment that I remember fondly is the gift giving scene at the birthday do. The beautiful moment Emilia’s character opens hers and all that it means was just great. One other highlight has to be the parting words to the hostess, Sharon, right after the horse racing.

I’d heard plenty before I sat down to watch this movie. Things  about how sad the story really is – especially considering what happens in  the end. It’s definitely sad but I also had fun. A few tears were shed but nothing major; especially since usually, I’m quite the ‘boohooer’ (a new word I just made up).

If you like a good romantic movie, watch Me Before You because it’s not a bad one. Another reason to watch is to help one’s understanding of those in situations similar to that of Claflin’s character. I for one agree with his freedom to decide.

Happy Film Loving 🙂
