Over a period of three years, every member of my family died -- along with my best friend. I, of course, fell into a depression I am still recovering from.It was during a particularly difficult time that I sought counseling services, but they spent my hourly allotment testing me for some mental illness, which I knew I didn't have... So it came down to me deciding whether to continue or whether to quit that I happened to turn on my television set in the process of showing this movie... This movie showed me that at some time in the "eternity," I chose this... I CHOSE THIS!!And when this young girl has her breakthrough, I did, too! They want me to stay...Anyone giving this movie a down thumb... hasn't been in this situation yet.For me, it was a life saver!

Mia Hall, a very talented cello player has a lot of problems on her mind regarding her future as a musician, her family and her boyfriend, but nothing compares to what she's about to experience. She's faced with a near death situation which brings her into a position from where she can relive the most important moments of her life and try to choose a path of life or death. Tragedies come, one after another, making her decision harder, but her entire future is solely up to her.It's an interesting idea of a state of trance in which you can have some flashbacks and figure out what you're going to do with your life, studying the present at the same time. Unfortunately, from my point of view, I simply cannot find the problem in this situation. I cannot think of a person who would actually choose to die instead of continuing his life, no matter how hard it seemed to be ahead. With life, you're not given a second chance. You live or it's game over. And with this said, there comes this movie's predictability which kind of spoils the finale. Besides this, it is exactly what you would expect from this type of movie. Dramatic and sad but also romantic and emotional. You feel sorry for her numerous times, and that is a good thing, especially as she is faced with more and more difficulties. Fortunately, she gets a great dose of encouragements from her close ones, making her decision somewhat easier.It is a good movie but unfortunately it fails to do something that truly impresses you, something to make you suddenly burst into tears, facts which I consider a must have in this kind of films.

If you are looking for a romantic movie to watch in a lonely night, this is it! The best approach of the movie was decision making so I say it's self raising. It's realistic and touchy because it's the kind of a life that teenagers would like to live so what happens when 'this life' breaks apart? Decisions are made regarding our fate and life goes on. The chemistry between the boy and Mia was everything. If you're looking for a different love story, go for this film. It has nothing with teenagers being very sexually involved or making big dreams come true. It says falling in love with the wrong person is not always wrong, so why not love it? I's a smart creation because everything was matching and nothing awful.

I like the characters and the story. Being a musician myself, it was pretty relatable and fun to watch. I really like Mia & Adam's relationship too - the fact that they're both musicians but still different in many ways is interesting and makes their relationship more complex. I think this film was pretty realistic too (other than the fact that Mia gets in Juliard and Adam becomes a popstar which is a little...far fetched might I say). Mia basically had a normal life, until the day of the car crash. Shows how unexplainable accidents like this happen in real life, and there's nothing we can do to control it. What matters is how we handle those situations - that's what the film is trying to say, I think. The problem I had with this movie is that it felt slow paced, and when it was over I didn't feel particularly amazed. I was just like okay, that's it? Kind of predictable.
