Lonely Planet

It's a nice weekend movie. I like both actors and it was easy to watch although some parts didn't make sense. The scenes were perfect, you really want to go there (which is in my checklist). The story was slow but the end was too quick. The other characters were too shallow. Ladies, have good glass of wine and enjoy Liam. He was just a pretty face for me before, now I saw a different angle. He is really talented. Laura Dern is one of my favorites since Big Little Lies. She never disappoints. I agree that the name of the movie has nothing to do with the story. Maybe it's from the publishing house, Lonely Planet.

Well, the plot is nothing new but still pretty watchable. I just did not feel the chemistry (on Laura Dern's part) that would make the story believable. I did not find anything appealing with Katherine's character. Let's face it: for a young, hot person to like someone this older, you would expect this older person to be wise, charming, interesting, etc. Katherine's character was nothing like that for me, just a pale, ill-tempered, shallow author. I wonder what would ignite a spark for Owen, maybe just his vulnerability at that time. I would also have liked to see more depth in Owen's previous relationship. Now I just feel bad for him in both of his relationships. Katherine's tantrums were hard to watch 😃

I was pretty tired when I selected this movie on a Friday night after a long stressful week. Almost thought I'd fall sleep. However, I was pleasantly surprised that the characters were easy to understand. Setting was beautiful and no side characters or stories to distract the viewer. I was very much in the story and loved it. Liam acted very well and did justice to the character. One thing I didn't understand was "why did she have to lose her luggage?". Having to watch one of the main characters in the same outfit was unnecessary. Lazy writing or cost saving? Apart from this it was a feel good movie that had a happy ending. Perfect for winding down with a glass of wine.

I saw this film for Laura Dern. And for Morocco. And , without high expectations about story - the recipe for romance is clear, simple and pretty inflexible -.

I was not very convinced about a writer reunion - sure, nice pretext for story- or about the chemistry between Dern and Hemsworth. But each of that is just insignificant, both actors offering beautiful performance, the themes, sensitives, being correct reflected, Lonely Planet being only remind of the importance of love, support of other, deceives, impulsive decisions, life in circle of writing, nice clash of different ages, experiences, perspectives, including in locations who seems be out of this...risk.

Unfair to be critic about film. The effort of each actor is obvious, the story gives some nice kicks to discover the life from new perspectives, the unrealism is in reasonable doses and the message is just bitter - sweet as a good chocolate. I admitt, the final, seeming pretty forced, was not exactly on my taste but this is only a minuscule detail. So, pretty romance.

I found this movie to be quite beautiful. I love the simplicity and unlikeliness of the love story. It has a "quietness and simplicity", which a lot of people will confuse for "boring" or "slow" which leads to a great love story and a feel good vibe. Never expected Liam Hemsworth and Laura Dern to have such good chemistry but it really makes me want to find whatever they have because I am the same type of "quiet, solitary" person and it makes me feel like there someone out there for everyone and that the universe guides you, whether you want to or not, in the right direction. You should definitely watch it if you're in a "deep" state of mind and are looking for a beautiful escape :)
