Dalla mia finestra: Al di là del mare

I absolutely loved Through my Window (A través de mi ventana), so I was super excited to watch the second film based on the book series by Ariana Godoy. I knew it would be a little problematic in that part of what made the first film so good was the great hate to love romance. Here in book/film #2 the couple is together just separated by distance, with Ares studying medicine at a school in Stockholm and Raquel studying literature at home in Barcelona. The conflict came in the form of Ares being adrift, questioning why he is studying medicine at all and really just missing Raquel. Raquel is also spending far too much time on her phone with Ares, but she does have an opportunity to send her manuscript to a publisher. (I really liked that it ended up being Yoshi's legacy.) Ares comes home for a break and whisks Raquel off for a seaside get reacquainted vacation...but his two brothers (Apollo and Artemis) end up crashing the vacation with their various friends.

I didn't enjoy this film nearly as much as the first film...it suffered from the midst of the story as it ends not where fans will want it to end...feeling undone, or as the narrator says broken. I did enjoy some of the sun, sand and sex that I would want in a summer film, but personally I can't wait for the third and final film. Is this a recommendation...yes, I still love the characters of Raquel and Ares and as a romantic, I still find myself rooting for them. I also think you need to see this in order to watch the third film. I wouldn't recommend this as a stand alone film however, you definitely need the context of the first film...even though that could be watched as a stand alone film. I find myself upset with Artemis and wanting to beat him with my shoe, and I am actually feeling sorry for Apollo as he seems to be a good kid...Raquel's friend Daniella probably needs to be hit a few times with a shoe for the way she treats him.

After the first part which was ok (classic teen love story with few plots, not a masterpiece but decent), this was is such a disappointment.

The relationships between people are confusing, the dialogue is weird and unrealistic, no story was actually covered deeply - is this a story about struggles of long distance relationships? Faithfulness? Friendship? They tried to have several points, but the realisation is just weak.

The 'event' in the end - so so unnecessary. It is like they have created a movie for us to watch something while we wait for the final plot in the 3rd part. This could have been done so much better.

If you like films such as After, and Culpa Mia (My Fault) or the first film for this sequel you will love this! I understand it's not for those who don't love the intense romances as it does belong to a very specific genre of fairly simple and repeated plots that many have grown to love.

This is the first film from this 'watt pad' conversion genre that has put me through an emotional rollercoaster in such a way, whilst being unpredictable and far more realistic than most. Even with all these additional factors it maintained romantic, thrilling and of course, entertaining.

So if you loved the first film, I highly recommend the sequel. Cannot wait for the next one to come out!

I remember that it had a general plot and I was excited to see the continuation of "Through my window", "Across the Sea" came out and I realized that the sea takes away good things, that's what happened with this production, it took How good the first movie was.

It didn't even meet 5% of my expectations, it was terrible for my taste, it was boring and total chaos, it went to ruin! I passed him so as not to fall asleep, was it a plot fading, did they fire the person in charge of the first one? It could have been good, but it wasn't.

In a certain part it was ridiculous, I no longer saw the emotion or feeling they conveyed like in the first one, they looked dull, without desire, it wasn't the same, period.

Too sum it up i did not enjoy this movie whats so ever.i barely understood is and i was not hooked at all.i constantly found myself not paying attention to the movie cause it was just so incredibly boring i do recommend the movie but only because the first one was good and i have faith in the 3rd one. The end of the movie leading into the third one seemed interesting and i am happy to see it once it comes out. I hope it is not like the 365 days franchise where they rushed the 3rd movie and so it ended up not being the best.i hope that they do there best work in the 3rd movie through my window:looking at you.
