suedecaramel Review of 'Til There Was You

'Til There Was You (1997)

Vivid characters and there run-ins with love, irony, heartbreak,

[9/10 · 30 September 2000]

While many would find this movie uneventful and drawn out, the genius of it comes from the solicitous character development, distinct wit, and gradual, realistic build-up to an ending that renews one's faith in destiny and fated love. The dynamic characters enthralled me with a story that shows very contrasting, but equally beautiful realities: the pain and joy of love. The movie broke my heart over the end of relationships that filled me with jealousy and nostalgia, and put it back together again with the triumph of what was "meant to be". Because of the enduring themes of both love and, more subtly but just as importantly, emotional growth, this movie has taken it's place in my mind and heart.
