Only You

Only You is a film I came across by chance, and therefore without any expectations or knowledge of its content. The subject matter it deals with is very topical and the desperation it brings with it seemed almost tangible to me in this film. I realize that I probably haven't even seen another film that deals with this subject so deeply. It's very thin ice. Here they've managed to portray a strong but still budding relationship quite nicely. The main heroine is quite interesting, likewise the main hero. Still, something didn't sit right with me about the film. Maybe it was the music, maybe I just couldn't take the "stuffiness". Anyway, points up for how it ended... 3.5 stars. (15.11.2019)

I really don’t know what to think. It has a cute beginning, the theme is a bit sad, interesting (not something we’ve seen a thousand and more times), but I couldn’t find my way to it. Laia Costa was perfect in her role, but I found O'Connor unconvincing, he didn't suit me at all. This film is proof to me of how important it is to choose the right actors to work with when creating a love story (of course, this is very subjective). For comparison, in Foodie Love, Laia Costa and Guillermo Pfening make a couple whose chemistry is so palpable that you can feel it in your living room, their attraction instantly drawing you in, making you feel personally involved. Here I just didn't believe it and it failed to evoke the emotions I needed. (19.03.2020)
