Only You

Acting is great. Story is heavy but realistic. You can feel story, every single moment while watching. So, realistic story, great scenario with perfect acting...you can learn something.

I have many films on my wishlist that I have no idea why i put it on there or who recommended it. Only You is not the sort of film that I would normally watch but it was on my watchlist for some reason and I'm kind of glad it was .

After a chance meeting on New Years Eve while waiting for a taxi home, Elena and Jake soon enter into a whirlwind relationship. Together, they explore what it takes to create an enduring relationship out of a fast love.

There is no getting away from it , this is a modern day love story but instead of it being like one of those hallmark sickly vomit inducing stories , this is about the ups and downs of a relationship. When people can't conceive it puts a massive strain on couples as this film shows and it's even more stressful when the woman's biological clock is ticking.

Josh O'Conner and Laia Costa are excellent in this . They are totally believable and you feel invested in their relationship and the process they are going through to get pregnant.

I found it quite hard to distinguish Josh O'Conner from his role as Prince Charles in The Crown but that's not anyone's fault as this was made before that role .

This is a beautiful love story. The on screen chemistry between Josh O'Connor (The Durrells, grew to love him in the series and very excited to watch him again) and Laia Costa is electric. Although a little slow in parts where the concentration is focused on Elena (Costa) just thinking and walking, she is so pretty to look at though. It really made me think about the many women who go through IVF treatment, it consumes your whole life! This movie is a must see!

The film is daunting in its realism, a beautiful love story.

I was enjoying it for the first 30 minutes then it all turned baby drama, a bit too much. El had become a real cry baby 😂 and started annoying me.
