Separadamente juntos

It's not bad, the story is nice, and kind and warm in parts, but... there are so many cringe-worth moments in the movie that I had to watch in two parts (and I almost gave up).

It is apparent (to me, at least) that the script needed more iterations and finessing (to remove the cringe moments for starters).

Also, none of the "couples" had much chemistry, I think the movie would be much better off with slightly older (mature) male counterparts and a more relaxed and relatable relationship between them.

Maybe in a few more years, with proper distancing from the pandemic, a refined script and more time to proper audition and cast the 2 main male characters the movie could have been much better.

Deserves more than its current IMDb rating.

It's a classic, chick flick, lazy Sunday afternoon watch & I enjoyed it.

The male lead is charming, the female lead is wounded/manipulated & the villain of the piece (not that there is a real villain) is self-centred & unaware.

Easy to follow, well written & acted. It's accessable stuff. Just what you want on a lazy day.

It's probably a 6, but, I gave it 7.

I wouldn't have expected Katie Holmes to be the filmmaker who attempts to create a love story set during the early days of the pandemic. She wrote and directed this 2022 romantic dramedy. However, I would expect her to be the star since her filmmaking style draws from the same sensitivity well as her six years on "Dawson's Creek". The sensitivity of her direction and performance works to some degree, but the leaden pacing and feckless characters hamper Holmes' intention to bring a level of intimacy to COVID. There is something frustrating about watching fortyish characters act like they're dealing with twentysomething angst. Holmes, Jim Sturgess, and Derek Luke try mightily to compensate for this lapse by infusing sincerity. Only an unrecognizable Melissa Leo registers as a character actually living through the uncertainty of the pandemic.

... it's an achievement getting through this romantic-drama without fast-forwarding many sections... there are just sooo many parts that either take forever getting anywhere, or large sections that are just completely predictable as to be intensely boring

... there's not anything tremendously off with any of the acting or the film's production values... it's just when there is entire control in the hands of just one individual, it can prove an issue as evidenced here... outside of having the pandemic as part of the storyline, and not an interesting part, this movie just seems empty.... smiling alot of the Katie Homes smile just isn't enough to make this worth the time.

I feel I have been a bit harsh on this film, as I did really enjoy watching I, and found it to be a bit better than reviews had me believe.

It wasn't a wholly original premise, although the Lockdown element added something fresh. I can understand this film isn't for those who like high action or a steady flow of punchy one liners.

However, despite the gentle pace, no huge peaks or troughs, and a pretty tame/simple concept, I was fully engaged throughout the film and thought it was very watchable. Yes, big things are ignored, or/& wrapped up/over before they're really ever a 'thing ', but I just liked being in the company of the characters and watching them navigate the pandemic with existing stresses and life situations.

I'd not deter anyone from watching this, and I appreciated most performances. But, its not something I'd rave about either. I think it's best being one of those films you stumped across and decide to give a try, and end up having a pleasant 90mins viewing experience.
