Una Parte de Ti

I went into the film with high expectations due to critics's high praises but was let down repeatedly. A Part of You follows Agnes and her struggles after her sister (Julia)'s death in a car accident. Prior to her death Julia is the popular kid at school with a group of friends and the perfect boyfriend while Agnes is a misunderstood loner. Agnes begins to emulate her sister to cope with her grief; wearing the same clothes, engaging in the same risky behavior as her sister, trying to be buddy-buddy with Julia's friends, and even messing around with her late sister's boyfriend Noel.

The film holds tropes that should have you tearing up, a young person dies prematurely in a tragic way, their loved ones struggle with coping their death and the protagonist finds their way the grief to thrive despite their struggles. I found it difficult to empathize with the main characters, they were two-dimensional and the epitome of privilege. The film attempts to have great depth and shifts in Agnes's character but her actress (Felicia Maxime) relies heavily on the same mannerisms throughout the entire film to portray different emotions (hugging her arms to her chest, turning into herself, and a blank faced expression) that are very stereotypical and bland ways to portray for a teen girl going through immense sadness and insecurity, causing her character to fall flat.

The conclusion was predictable yet still forced. No issues get resolved, you are left with more questions than answers. No overall message is achieved in the conclusion other than 'maybe you shouldn't try to become your sister when she dies' and 'popular people aren't always happy'.

The casting choices were questionable. Zara Larson (Julia) and Felicia Maxime truly look like sisters but Larson's inclusion felt like a grab to get more viewers to watch the film through her immense following and previous success, similarly for Edvin Ryding (Julia's boyfriend).

I was to stunned to speak after this movie.

Yup, yup, yup, yup.

Trying to find a movie to watch? Don't hesitate, just go Watch this one, no seriously. Do it

All i gotta say is, if youre sad at the time and needs to cry with a movie, this ones for you for sure, i really just got my sadness out with this. Loved it.

But lets not take the expectations down, because even though you dont feel for crying, this is for you too, great movie, and if you've seen the series "Young royals" You NEED to see this one too, its a must.

I gave it a 8 instead of 10, because i found it heartbreaking, and im not ALL in for that, otherwise it was a 100% worth watching, and i will probably watch it again.

Its well made and GREAATTTT actors.

"A Part of You" aims at being a character-driven film that delves into the complexities of grief and adolescence. It follows Agnes, a 17-year-old girl portrayed by Felicia Maxime. The narrative unfolds slowly, as Agnes navigates the tumultuous emotions following the death of her popular older sister, Julia.

The film's weakness lies in its inability to capture the individuality of grief. It presents a teenage portrait that is intense but unrelatable.

The film is drawn out. Its slow build-up is intentional, mirroring the process of coming to terms with grief, but boring nevertheless. The movie does however, not shy away from difficult topics; a teenager coping with sudden and horrific loss.

A beautiful story about grief, self image and relationships. To some extent it's a coming of age story. But mostly it's about losing someone you love, secrets and how to move forward. It's dark and at times it cuts deep. I would say it's definitely 13+.

The footage is fantastic and the way they use the Swedish summer night lights it gives this movie such a unique feel.

Felicia Maxime delivers a wonderful performance. She is honest, daring and not once do I feel like she is acting. She embodies Agnes. What a star! This is not an easy role to portray.

Edvin is brilliant as always. His body language, eye contact and movements and the way he delivers his lines makes the character come alive.

To be honest I was so disappointed watching this movie, It was so boring I was expecting something else.

Nothing really happened other than the fact that her sister died at the beginning, which was really out of contact because we as viewers didn't get to know her as much.

It was such a waste of time, there are so many good movie other than that one.

I didn't really get all the hype about it.

The only good thing I would say is that fact that Edvin Ryding act in this film but again it wasn't enough in order to save the movie.

He only got a few scenes and that's all.

I would not recommend at all.
