This Time Next Year

Director Nick Moore brings us the adaptation of the novel by Sophie Cousens who also wrote the script for the film in which we are left with one of those pleasant and sweet romantic comedies that meet expectations.

The main characters are the beautiful Sophie Cookson and the handsome Lucien Laviscount, who share their chemistry so that we can enjoy their beautiful love story on screen, which the main couple makes fit perfectly with their complicity and dedication. We also have a good supporting cast that offers outstanding moments, in which John Hannah, Monica Dolan and Golda Rosheuvel stand out.

A well-crafted story that, as it progresses, meets all the requirements to enjoy those British romantic comedies that we like so much; it doesn't strive to give what it doesn't seek to give and pleases the viewer with the right doses of having a simple, fun and well-made film without aspiring to be among the best in history.

It offers drama when necessary, it offers sympathy when it is worth it and it offers romance when we need it, a well-constructed film that allows itself to have references to great classics and also knows how to mix themes that touch the precise keys to enjoy a correct proposal of living love.

Charming characters, a believable and enjoyable romantic story with that touch of British humour that pleases everyone. A weekend film to enjoy with the family and above all for lovers of a genre that is always, always enjoyable to watch.

Strange experience - the main girl is playing Keira Knightley (why?). This film has really good cast so the quality of writing, directing and filming is a little disappointing. Although it is much better than any of the American Christmas Netflix productions it is also far too long. The mothers of the main characters however are a triumph! It's worth watching just to enjoy their performance. The ending is better than expected though, so if you have nothing better to do you may as well enjoy this romantic comedy/ Christmas movie but I doubt it will join the classics - nowhere near the quality of the Holiday or the Last Christmas.

I was so excited to watch this movie. Cheesy romcoms are my treats for lazy Sunday afternoons. The director of the movie worked on all my favorite UK rom-com movies (Love Actually, Notting Hill, About a Boy). John Hannah and Monical Dolan are top rate actors. Loved her in Sherwood. For some reason, they made her wear a strange and stupid wig but I digress.

The premise of the movie is pretty typical and the side characters were alright. So what could possibly go wrong? The main character Winnie was comically bad. Her over the top whinging and whiny was so annoying I had to stop watching after about 30 minutes.

Okay this is your typical English Rom Com, with a few tears along the way. The supporting characters are pretty annoying, the two leads carry the film well.

There are some big names in the cast, Keala Settle, John Hannah even Anita Dobson pops.up.

London as ever looks great on camera, The film is under 2 hours and it went pretty quickly. Well worth a watch, if you like a feel good film.

Yes British films are cliche-ridden, some people will cringe at dome of the scenes.

This is on Netflix so nothing extra to watch abd saves going to the cinema in the cold dark night.

Like I said well worth a watch.

This has got to be the most boring romcom of all time. Set in modern day London, although it felt like we went back in time to 1970s with this slow boring movie. Lucien is capable of much more than this dry , slow, British character he played, there was absolutely no humour at all. Save yourself 2 hours and watch something else. The storyline was average, the characters needed more substance , the actors are good actors, not sure why the producers made them look dry , and boring , dialogue delivery could have been better too. Overall, Slow, boring, British movie. 3/10 , the three stars are basically for Lucians body!
