Loin d'ici

I enjoyed this movie because the lead actress was a mature woman who looked her age with a few extra pounds and wrinkles , provingthat you can attract a man without botox and a slim body. I hadnever heard of Naomi Krauss but found her portrayal of the taken for granted wife and mother captivating. I can truly understand how the handsome Bogdan fell for her. Yes, there are many cliches but overall it was a refreshing feel good movie with fine performances and absolutely gorgeous scenery. Enjoyed it so much that I would love to see a sequel! Maybe its not Shakespeare but this chick flick was entertaining and fun.

This movie is so fresh and cute just real, plus funny.

The actors are great, the story is familiar but still different.

I like that it is a romance about 40+ people and is just so Croatian with jokes and the way Bogdan, as Josip behaves it is so typical but in a good way. The island is, of course, beautiful; colors, people, food, flowers and the atmosphere is very island-like.

It is just feel good, relax and have a good time movie with very good actors.

I gave it 10 because as a Croatian I'm very happy with this movie's representation of people and land usually is just klishes used for all East European countries but not this movie. Go check it out!

So first off, I'm a guy. Not going to sit for any sappy silly nonsense.

So when is a rom-com not a rom-com? When there's great acting, great script, great story line, great humor, and true heart felt moments. It just goes to show how good films can be without all the formulaic drivel that is churned out year after year. This was a film where you felt for the characters, you were engrossed in the story, and as my wife said, "I didn't want it to end". Agreed. We wished it was longer with MORE humor, more plot twists, and simply more good filmmaking. Message to hollywood: take notes and make better films!

This is a rom com, so one cannot expect an oscar winning script or a Christoper Nolan universe.

However I found the film nicer and more relatable than usual, due to the leads being plus 45, but without stereotypes or actors/actresses who have undergone too many cosmetic surgeries.

It felt real, with the struggles of a woman who does not realise how unhappy she is until reality hits her in the face. Also the scenery was beatiful, and the fact that people talked in German, English, Croatian and with real accents, made it more real than the usual Hollywood rom coms.

I found the "Macron" reference and jokes specially funny.

This is a warm and welcome story for the streesed out people out there, that feels life is like being tucked in a box , being slammed with a bat out of hell. A flee from the gomorian life they call civiliced, just let loose of everything and save yourself by traveling to a place that nobody else sees, to rest and reset mind and body.

A multilingual european story that takes place at the coast of croatia in the windy season of the adriatic, opens new doors to love and ...comedy. Its a story thats loosly inspired from other lovestories made films about but this one is special. And that is basicly due to a lovely chosen cast and a very well done filmography. The main caracter is a real OI OI OI by the looks, just like the one i have on my right hand side everyday, so a refreshment for the male viewer it might be...

its all in all a throw your life over the fence and start a new one somewhere else, made in a sound of sweet reataliation and revenge, liebst du mich nicht dann steh weg. A lovely and charming story of sunset love, a must see for every romantic out there. A recommend from the grumpy old man.
