Only You

Modern tale of lust, love and labours. Only You is also full of humour and energy. O'Connor was extraordinary in God's Own Country, and he's on good form again. But Costa is even better.

This is a painful romance, and i may have opted for a more lacerating ending. But the mood of love wins you over.

I felt compelled to write my first review, as this film doesn't have many and totally deserves a shout out.

The actors are fantastic, the story realistic and whilst, at times quite depressing, a heartfelt tale beautifully told. Definitely worth a watch.

This is a beautiful love story. The on screen chemistry between Josh O'Connor (The Durrells, grew to love him in the series and very excited to watch him again) and Laia Costa is electric. Although a little slow in parts where the concentration is focused on Elena (Costa) just thinking and walking, she is so pretty to look at though. It really made me think about the many women who go through IVF treatment, it consumes your whole life! This movie is a must see!

I never write my own opinions here, but because this issue is close to my heart because me and my wife are about to go through IVF so I had to write my opinion. So I have a couple of issues with this movie:

1) It's seems to me like the man (and in this case a much younger one) is the main victim of the non furtiliry issue, but in this case he isn't. Any couple that have been through this and stayed together will testify that both sides are suffering and it doesn't matter how has the problem. You can never leave the person if you truly love them and it doesn't matter how hard it is, because once you leave once it's over you won't come back...

2) Why not adopt a child? They could've explored this important issue but they didn't.

So I felt disappointed by the final 25 minutes of the movie, because what you saw isn't a pure love it's pity in my humble opinion...

The film is daunting in its realism, a beautiful love story.
