It's well acted and a little soap opera-y.

1/5

The problems are many, and evident from the outset: wooden dialogue, syrupy music and lighting, a basic uncertainty about how to use framing and editing for energy and focus.

While you can appreciate the heartfelt intentions and committed performances, this earnest romantic melodrama is too aggressive in its efforts to elicit tears.

2/4

[T]he screenplay ... is in such a hurry to get to the end result of this romance that it pretty much forgets to allow the characters and, by extension, us to experience it happening.

It may feel a little cheesy in places -- particularly the first half -- but knowing it is based on true events, there is an impactful poignancy to this Australian romantic drama.

2/5

Sentimental, soft-edged and way too saccharine, this try-hard film should have tried harder it its attempt to meld a romance with the portrayal of a woman afflicted by multiple sclerosis...yet another Australian film too unsure of what it wants to be.
