I tend not to watch Romantic movies only because they are so terribly formulated that you can work out what is going to happen before it happens. This movie wasn't any different. The setting was kind of a cool but I didn't connect very well with the characters. A lot of it felt forced, like the controlling husband situation. It wasn't the worst romantic movie to watch with your lady.

This is a well-done movie. It tells a thoroughly fantastical love story created by a psychic connection between two random people, one a bored married woman in the snowy Northeast and one a dysfunctional man in New Mexico. The movie ends much in the way that you would expect of a film of this genre to, but the psychic connection elements allows the movie to subvert the clichés of forbidden love and love-at-first-sight to create a story that is both original and classic.(I saw this on March 12, 2017.)

I watched this film off the back of its strong premise and the promise of a decent acting performance from the usually brilliant Zoe Kazan. I suppose I'll preface my review by saying that I was disappointed, as the film seemed totally unable to stick to any genre it supposedly was. Initially pitched as a sci-fi/ romance, the film dwindled into a pudgy mess of awkward dialogue, ill-fitting score and incredibly unlikable and unrelatable characters. Whilst the plot seemed a unique take on the generally overplayed star-crossed lovers theme it didn't take me long to figure out that this was just another chick-flick full of comedically bad villains the likes of; the nosy housewife who couldn't paint, or, the women who liked her steaks well done. The most heinous of all villains was of course Phillip the husband, whilst not being wholly neglectful in his marriage, was just so unrealistically dickish that at times I did think Rebecca, played by Kazan, should run away with the random voice in her head. Perhaps this was supposed to infer some underlying theme regarding domestic abuse, but in all honesty the worst thing he actually did apart from being a jerk all the time was stop her from refilling her wine glass at that boring function.The old 'troubled intellectual' / 'Good Will Hunting' trope also made an appearance through Dylan's character, played by Michael Stahl-David, which might just have worked in making him a likable character if not for his continuous stupidity. It was particularly grating when the film tried to introduce the idea of his intellect through dry wit and the word "benign" when chatting with a woman at the bar... I mean clearly he's to good for this town if he knows such a big word. But overall I just found the film a hard pill to swallow as I cringed through nearly every interaction.If you must watch this film, or you have already watched it and are trawling through the reviews for some explanation as to why you just sat through such a "benign" piece of trash, may I recommend a nearly identical yet vastly superior film "The F word" ("What If" in the U.S) also starring Zoe Kazan but without the psychic element or the terrible, terrible.... everything else.

okay so besides this movie being UNBEARABLY uncomfortable the ending is stupid. so what are they just going to ride that train and then what? because well one of you escaped from a mental hospital, which by the way you are an adult and they cant really hold you there against your will you could have probably figured your way out of it some how but you are a cliché helpless girl. second of all the other one IS A CONVICTED FELON WHO IS ON THE RUN. what are you going to do for money, where are you going to live, WHAT R U GOING TO DO. i would have been like three million times happy if they ended the movie on like i do not know a non criminal note. plus they are that chick is stupid she just kept talking to him in public looking like an insane person. you could have gotten a little creative and i don't know pretended you were on the phone. i am just highly dissatisfied with this uncomfortable movie. i also do not understand how the rating is higher than a 4.
