Right after watching this film, I have it a rating and thought ‘wow that was disappointing, what a bad movie’. But after truly considering what I’ve just watched, I can admit to myself that I did enjoy some of this film.

I found myself genuinely smiling and laughing during the first half of this film but then it started to decline from there.

Firstly, I went into this film expecting them to be going on a journey together to find his mother. Maybe that’s a mistake on my part by misinterpreting the synopsis but once they found his mum 45 minutes in, I wondered what there was left to do in the rest of the 1hour 15 of the film.

There was some chemistry left to be desired between the leads. I love Win and enjoyed watching him act in this and show of his English skills but the chemistry was frankly lackluster and the kiss was giving dead fish on his part.

The ending also really rubbed me the wrong way. What the hell was that?! She saw what his mother leaving that way did to him and then did the exact same thing. I get that she wanted him to remember her as ‘strong’ and not sick but to be honest if I were him I would just remember her as a coward. If my partner ever lied to me about something as big as that, does the country, and refused to contact me, I would be absolutely fuming. No respect for him, his feelings, or their business whatsoever. And the sister going to visit him after to tell him the news and him kinda just sitting there looking sad was very weird. Especially as she gives him her number and then awkwardly stands up and leaves after.

Also side note but why did he look like the penny had dropped when Thea explained she was Iris’ sister? They look identical?! (Especially as they are played by the same actress lmao) Seriously

Sorry I didn’t realise I was so annoyed by the ending until I started writing this. It’s not all bad but the ending kind of ruined it for me. Rated 6.5 and would not rewatch
