This story had elements of Cinema Paradiso mixed with Moonstruck, two of my favorite films, and it had me smiling, laughing and engaged from the start. A beautiful story with great performances from, not only the leads, but the entire supporting cast. There were so many interesting characters, from the staff at the Hotel Sacher in Vienna, to the quirky roommates, but the two leads, Max Hubacher and Maeve Metelka, were just outstanding. The ending was a little predictable pretty early on but the ride getting there was pure cinematic joy. I love finding these treasures like Sachertorte in the day and age of comic book mayhem on every screen.
