the film combines the nostalgic aesthetics of a Lana Del Rey music video with the emotional poignancy of a conventional romance flick like "The Notebook";The result is an endearing and consuming, but by no means surprising, dual-timeline love story
not quite a charming romcom and not nearly the sweeping romance it thinks it is, the film finds an airless middle ground; The central romance here is, on paper, a love for the ages, a story of all-consuming passion. It's not quite so in practice
it's a tired, even cloying, setup, but the film is often fascinating and poignant, chiefly for the way that Augustine Frizzell balances a dynamic aesthetic energy with a generosity of spirit
it's a sweetly earnest movie that is bound to tug at some heartstrings. "The Last Letter From Your Lover" is a charming look at two love stories, and while it's hardly anything new, the film holds plenty of warmth
director Augustine Frizzell gamely attempts to balance disparate tones and stories, but only a small portion of this Netflix adaptation holds much of a thrill
Augustine Frizzell tackles the period portion of the saga with some directorial verve, committing to its saturated, hyper-styled romanticism and shameless storytelling contrivance to a degree that is all but irresistible
Augustine Frizzell has a nice feel for actorly chemistry; they're appealing enough to keep you watching, and reading, in a double-decker romance that sighs, squeals and fitfully delivers
adapted from Jojo Moyes book, this is one of the most profoundly romantic movies of recent years; Be warned, this is a movie that is likely to make you cry. But in between your tears, you'll also be treated to a fantastic soundtrack
a perfectly serviceable biopic with good performances, which goes some way to explaining Franklin’s genius as a musician and a star, but one that isn’t nearly as transcendent as its subject deserves
a charming double romance that tells two love stories for the price of one; both love stories play out naturally. The luxe period fashions in the '60s story are lavish and rich, while the modern day romance crackles with playful energy
