Against your better judgment, you root for the pair to beat the odds against them.

Roger Ebert
Now here is a story that could have been a tearjerker, but -- no, wait, it is a tearjerker, it's just that it's a good one.

Hollywood Reporter
Mercilessly plodding pacing, problematic character motivations and a fundamental lack of chemistry between the two star-crossed lovers.

Empire Magazine
An uncomplicated, nicely shot tale that ticks all the right boxes for those after a good old-fashioned weepy.
