Love Across Time

Excellent, not too dramatic, and I loved the pacing. The actors don't seem like they are acting, and the design, music, appearance of the characters, and scenery make this movie an overall 10/10. I absolutely loved this movie and I can say it is one of the best romance movies I have watched in a long time. I highly encourage watching this movie as a family as will most definitely be a heartwarming and enjoyable experience for all. The jokes are also quite funny and the contrast between the main characters is quite amusing. Overall, a satisfying storyline and ending that perfectly wrapped the love story.

This was cute and pretty predictable, but I ended up enjoying it. It takes place in Britain at a huge manor house from the late 16th century. The heroine has come from America to tour properties owned by a bank back in the states-in order to sell or auction them off. She goes to stay at one that she immediately falls in love with. While wandering around the basement she's met with a man in period clothing on the other side of a large mirror. The unreal part was how accepting the characters were of this part. Just not realistic. I get it, they only have so much time, but it just seemed too easy. When he comes through the mirror the story takes off. I've watched many movies about time travel and read way too many books featuring it so I can say this was right in line with most movies like this. I really enjoyed the man's character and the actor. The woman's character wasn't bad, but I didn't feel a whole lot of chemistry between the two. Still, as I said, it was cute and enjoyable and I'm glad I took the time to watch. Oh, and another thing I enjoyed was the caretaker's character. Now, he was quirky!

Some of these reviews are very cruel... hey it's a make believe fantasy movie. How we would like life to be sometimes with the way things are going these days.

I always enjoy the time travel movies. What if? And for a couple of hours you can time travel with the actors. And with all the bad things happening in our world these days, I love a happy ending. This movie had all of those things. Aubrey was sweet and natural, believable and the fact that she was not a well known actress kept you in the possible believable story line. And the male actor was a genuine nice person he kind of person almost every woman wishes she would meet. So, sit back and enjoy the fantasy, don't pick it apart, with what if's... remember when you were younger and did make believe, it doesn't have to be perfect to be enjoyable.

7.9 stars.

A rare romance that incorporates time travel and love, and it really works.

I remember reading a novel 30 years ago about a mirror and people who pass through it. This film has a similar type of mirror, and it reminds me of that fantasy novel for some reason, even though the novel was not particularly a whimsical romance, as it was a fantasy adventure with villains and magic.

This is the tale of a woman in the present, who is sent from America to Europe to purchase a centuries-old manor for a large real estate corporation. In the process of appraising the huge estate, she stumbles on a magical mirror, that can peer into the past. She sees a man from the 18th century who can see her from his side as well.

This is a love story that bridges time and culture. The plot becomes predictable at this point. Will he come to live in the future or will she jump into the past?

What is so wonderful about this film is that the chemistry is off the charts and the characters are endearing. Every aspect of the film is extraordinary, including the music, lighting, scenery and, of course, the romance.

Must see this every other year!

I like Aubrey Reynolds as an actress, she never seems like she is "acting", she doesn't seem like she is delivering lines. She always seems like she is just responding to the situation, as it should be. Also she doesn't wear much eye makeup and that helps her look beautiful, not artificial.

Here she is Chelsea Grayson, working for a USA firm that owns a very old English mansion that has fallen somewhat in disrepair. She travels there to facilitate a sale, the thought being it would be sold to ether tear down or be converted into some different type of property.

To save money her firm decides she will stay there for a few days instead of a hotel. She is warned, don't go into the basement, some say it is haunted. Being the curious type she goes anyway and sees a floor length mirror, it has a faint blue glow, and in the mirror she sees what looks like a nobleman from a different era. Like from 1799.

She meets the man in the mirror, Toby-Alexander Smith as Charles Barkley V. The script even has a few jokes about the USA basketball player of the same name. The story gets a bit more complex from then on but the two of them eventually start working on a plan to save the old mansion. It even involves an investment idea and a trick borrowed from BTTF 3 where Doc Brown writes a letter from the 1800s to be delivered to Marty in current time.

All in all a superior movie of this genre, very well made and entertaining. My wife and I watched it at home, streaming on Prime.
