Slow-burning melodramatic romance that plays like 1950s era cinema. Solid acting from Winslet and Brolin is wasted on uneven direction and writing. At its best when showing a broken woman finding love through a surprising source. But then there are unnecessary scenes showing the past of Brolin's character. These flashbacks aren't needed to tell the story, and feel off because the rest of the film is from a child's perspective. Also noteworthy: Stunning photography and a lovely understated score.

I can't deny I was captivated and intrigued, but there's little beyond the surface of this by-the-number melodrama, which hints at darker things but settles for honeyblossom. A fine watch, but ultimately insubstantial.

More decent than I expected. Solid acting and cinematography.

Of course this happy situation does not come without cautions. The already-stated glamorization of hooking up with an escaped con, Frank and Adele's "intimate companionship" falling outside the bounds of marriage, and Henry's sexual fantasies all bring discomfort to the movie experience.

A stunning score and brilliant acting by Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin. I did not like much for the kid actors. The story was okay but very badly laid. Like DougieD said, the flashbacks were totally off the storyline. The director should choose on who's mouth the story would be told. The tense in the end was touchy.

Even though I can't recall watching a similar movie, I still felt I had seen it before, and new what was going to happen - for the most part anyway. Great perfomances throughout. - Okay

It's watchable, but it just sorta sits there, and holy crap does it jettison pretty much all believability as it nears its final stretch. Earnest performances, effective 1980's atmosphere...lame story, ultimately. Plus that goddamn uptight bratty kid pretty much ruined everything when he ran his mouth to his dad, didn't he?

Satisfying after the climax, but the beginning of the film was very awkward.

Ah, true love in the face of danger. No strange concept, but this one is well executed. Ofcourse Winslet is amazing as always, and even Brolin takes you in. Good movie. 62/100.

It makes slightly more sense by the end, but... it sends a rather horrible message as a movie.

All the way through I couldn't figure out weather this movie was supposed to be sweet or sad or "dark"... But good performances and not so bad that I wouldn't recommend it.

Seeing high ratings on Netflix, I eagerly watched and was quickly bored. I can't get behind Kate Winslet's character, as much as I'd love to. Rated: Meh.

6 Juliol 2016 - M'ha fet seguir-la atentament i preocupar-me pels personatges, hauria d'avergonyir-me que una història lacrimògena com aquesta no em faci perdre l'interès? Em sembla ben actuat; situacions increïbles. També els personatges són plans, però alguna cosa m'ha fet acceptar-los.

A simple but sweet movie that I rather enjoyed. But it ticked a lot of boxes for me and I found it relatable (single mum, child loss). Nothing outrageous but sometimes movies like this remind us we aren't alone.
