This is a very charming movie about love, loss, betrayal, and resilience. It's rare to see a movie where the main character is a middle aged woman showing all the signs of life's wear on her face and body. I feel like I really fell in love with this movie because she's so relatable. If I lived any closer to Croatia, I'd probably do exactly what she did in those circumstances. This movie is funny and amusing yet kinda sad at the same time. It may be predictable but it's enjoyable. It's filled with little nuances about life, the passing of time, and differences between the generations which will probably speak louder to those of us who are middle aged or older. Don't get me wrong though, this movie isn't sappy, it's ultimately a celebration! One line in particular made me hit the pause button so I could laugh without missing anything (that's never happen to me during a movie before). I recommended this movie to my friends, parents, and brother and they all loved it as well. On a side note, the lifestyle and friendships on the Croatian island are very accurately depicted and the scenery is absolutely breathtaking!
