This should have been ‘right up my street’, but it wasn’t. It’s very visually stunning with clever use of colour, but the look of the film is its best quality. For some reason I found that it couldn’t hold my attention. It has a strange and completely bereft of emotion love story element and in some cases is just plain pretentious. I also found the mix of Dickensian and the 1960’s somewhat silly.
I really should have liked this, and it’s a shame that I didn’t.

A horrific car accident connects three stories, each involving characters dealing with loss, regret, and life’s harsh realities, all in the name of love. And bloody marvellous it is too!
Although there are three stories, it never gets confusing as they overlap beautifully.
It’s not really possible to go into it any any great detail because it would take far too long. The above is really all you need to know!
