As a non-German speaking individual, it took me quite some time until I could get my hands on this film, but I am so glad I did.

The first thing that is formidable about this film, in my opinion, is the pace. The story starts from a familial encounter after a tragic event, and unfolds backwards. The fact that you slowly peel away the history of the family following the death of its father pours a lot of profound beauty into the story.

Each story, each argument, each tragedy slowly unfurls and brings meaning into the relationships of all the characters. The slow, village scenery brings a melancholic, yet elegant taste to the film as well.

Each of the actors did a great job portraying the story. Nowadays when Emily Cox has become so widely known for her role in the last kingdom, her wealth of emotion and range comes as no surprise. I am curious and would like to explore her other films as I'm sure she has done a great, enjoyable performances, as she has done in this film, in many other places. Bravo!

If you haven't watched this film, I greatly recommend that you do. You won't be disappointed!

I watched this movie together with my significant other and we enjoyed every minute of it.

It's a clever romantic comedy, and the story being progressed by using dog ownership is brilliant in my opinion.

If you take this movie for what it is, it's a really fun, funny and refreshing film. I think the setting in Germany and using "European" style comedy elevates this this film above the romantic comedy genre we're used to in America, which in my opinion has been declining and even became irrelevant in recent years.

Emily Cox, by no surprise to anyone who knows her stellar performances in "The Last Kingdom", brings her art and shows her incredible range in this film. She is funny, clumsy and can be intense at times. I cannot say enough words about how brilliant Emily is in my opinion. I greatly look forward to seeing her in more such films in the future. The supporting cast is also spot on for all of the roles.

10/10!
