I'm not a big fan of romantic films. I usually get bored and never make it to the end of the movie. This one though, really spoke to me. I absolutely loved the acting, the plot, the scenery was beautiful... I honestly have nothing bad to say (strangely enough since this is a Netflix original movie). I was hesitant at first, I was not expecting anything impressive or out of the ordinary, but this film definitely proved me wrong. It's both emotional and romantic but realistic and raw at the same time. In case you haven't watched it yet, give it a shot, it's worth it.

I haven't watched a movie this good in awhile. Granite I have not yet read the book, but now after watching the movie thanks to good ol' Netflix I am dying to read the book now. It's one of those love stories that give you hope and meaning. Just watch it you won't regret it.

Ok, I haven't read the book, however, after watching the movie I will for sure. Point in favor because despite the fact that this history has been seen in other movies, none is the same as the other
Shai and Callum: I loved them, Shailene transmitted all the emotions in every moment of the film, the feeling of abandonment, the emotion of a new person, the passion to live something new, the pain of knowing that something is not possible, each scene is excellent, you really feel each of the emotions. With regard to Callum, what can I say? An excellent actor, a gentleman in the whole movie, (it's the first time I've seen him act), a man who makes mistakes but doesn't deny them, his performance (for me) has been beautiful, complete and clean, it conveys that desire to be with someone but knowing that the decision is not entirely in their hands, it was excellent ...
Joe Alwyn: the perfect husband, but who considers that his duty is to work, his acting has been great, his toughness, his little interest, his social class, everything has reflected it very well (I loved and hated when he asked the waiter who spoke only in English) perfect for me.
What I didn't like very much:
The story of Ellie and Rory ... it was a bit annoying because it was forced to happen, it was a strange story that happened very quickly without development without emotion and without attraction ... I don't think it was them but the same script but not I really liked his story, I advanced it in the whole movie.
It is a movie to see at any time you consider, it is cute, romantic, calm, without suspense, entertaining, it may have lacked development of some characters but it is understandable by time, I definitely recommend it.

I have to say I was sceptical at first, however the second that the story turned back to present day and initiated this past love story, I was completely taken. The romance that existed in love letters can never be replicated and seeing it, makes you dream and believe in it. Lovely told. Felicity is always wonderful and so is Shailene. Lovely surprised by Joe Alwyn. And wow wow wow Callum Turner - enchanting.
I always cringe at a love affair when it involves one of the individuals being married. This movie is different. I felt the love and passion these two characters had for each. The letters had such a way of expressing the care and desire they had for one another. I don't know it was the era or the location, but I was sucked in , I definitely plan on watching the movie over and over again .

Tbh! When I started watching the movie I didn't thought this would be so good. I am blown away with the storyline, plot, cast, those letters shown. Clearly, it stands as one of the best romantic movies on my list now.
The actors did a brilliant job. Well executed back and forth scenes. I usually do not write reviews for movies/series but I was getting so intrigued as the movie progressed and literally enjoyed this one so so much.
The climax elements were top notch. The girl journalist did a phenomenal job too. Not to mention, each and every cast was simply amazing. The movie deserves multiple watch.

Shailene Woodley is just so good an actress. I believe in every character she has ever played. This was no exception.
I was completely mesmerised by her performance, which made this film a real hit with me.
It was her name and that of Felicity Jones which made me choose to watch this film, as I am not usually drawn to romance drama, unless written by Jane Austin or one of the Bronte sisters.
The two intertwined love stories, one in the 1960s and one in the present day, didn't really work that well. The present day one was sweet, but the 1960s one was intense, passionate and heart breaking and made this film for me.

I loved this film more than Wuthering Heights (1939). Based on a book by Jojo Moyes, this storyline was supported by a brilliant job on the part of the director, script writers & producers. The cast was extraordinary in their portrayals of these wonderful characters ❤ ! I became very invested in this saga & don't remember the last time I cried so much. Keep a box of tissues on hand & enjoy!

Thanks Netflix.
Thanks Netflix.
I read the book years ago after reading Me Before You, and immediately thought - this author needs to make a movie after this book!! I was so pleased to see she finally had! I love this story so much... I could watch this movie a million times over.

I really touched by all the gentle and sweet scenes from this movie and also, all the background songs were outstanding to hear. Haven't seen such a light and lovely story in a while. Therefore, cannot hold my tears in the last few minutes but now I'm at ease. Surely, recommended for people who loves to watch smthing bright.
The Last Letters from Your Lover
Magnificent masterpiece, of the same caliber as Atonement, The Hours, & The Notebook. This is a must see for anyone who loves a Great Love Story.
Acting - Everyone who stared in this powerful movie deserves an award. Shailene Woodley was fascinating as the centerpiece. She reminds me of Elizabeth Taylor, you just can't keep your eyes off of her. Felicity Jones, again proves she is a force to be reckoned with. I tip my hat to the entire cast.
From the Director, Editing, Cinematography, and every aspect of production. Simply awesome!

I really enjoyed and adored this movie. How the story was intertwined by two women's' stories, both equally interesting and tantalizing. Shailene and Felicity were spectacular and the men were good too. Loved it!
Think the Note Book, Time Travelers wife and As Good As It Gets. Romantic and sad as the lovers face their lift trials. Well acted and endearing. Truly the best feel good movie in a long time.
This story was heartbreaking, beautiful, breathtaking and devastating all in one. Perfect actors and just beautifully simple!

I really enjoyed this story. If you're a hopeless romantic, this film will entertain you. Great cast and just a sweet, touching story. It may have been done before, but this is one of the better ones that warms the heart.

Yes, I've said it! This really surprised me, the chemistry was off the roof, the actors were terribly compelling, the letters were very well written, the music was chosen perfectly for the scenes, the fashion, the hair and makeup, the scenery... What more can I say? I highly recommend this movie, I know that it's impossible to make a movie that would appeal to everybody and it had it's flaws, but I feel like this was absolutely wonderful.

This film genuinely surprised me, proving filmmakers can still craft beautiful, moving romances. It evoked a nostalgic charm, reminding me of classic cinema. I thoroughly enjoyed how it drew parallels between past and present generations' approaches to love, highlighting the evident authenticity of bygone eras. The film is visually lavish, with beautiful period costumes and settings. While the dual narrative can feel a bit rushed, it delivers a heartwarming and emotionally charged tale of enduring love and second chances. Perfect for a cozy, romantic watch. I truly enjoyed watching the movie with my family.
A brilliant story told by Callum Turner and Shailene woodley. If you wish to fill your heart with a new hope of desire to love and wishing for the happy ending this is your movie.
Why doesn't this have better reviews? It was sweet, interesting and a great story line. You know what you're signing up for when you start so any harsh criticism should be banished.
