The Shell Collector

This was a touching and heartfelt story. I disagree with the reviewer that said the leads didn't have chemistry. I thought they had real chemistry. It took me a few minutes to get past the Botox lips of the lead actress, but I thought she did a great job with expressing grief and hesitancy and walking through healing to wholeness. Same with the lead actor. If they had had what is typically thought of as chemistry, where are they have a spark, and are all smiley at the beginning of the movie, it wouldn't have been right for the story. They had to tread carefully as they walked through forgiveness and healing and restoration. The children and the older actors were well cast, too. They were touching and very believable. With beautiful scenery on top of it all, it was a great movie. I thought the script was well written.

It's not a romantic comedy. It wasn't meant to be. I highly recommend it.
