To Have and to Hold

In the beginning of the movie when she is carrying the caterers tray. There is only one bowl of tuna appetizer while holding a conversation it switches from two bowls of tuna then back to one bowl of tuna all in the same scene and back to two bowls.

This was one part Lifetime and one part Hallmark. It was a great mix between the two. I wish there were more like this one.

Initially, I thought this was from the thriller genre, but halfway through it dawned on me, finally, that I was watching a drama about relationships - romantic & otherwise.

The dialogue is real and the four leads do a very good job playing the characters, as they attempt to pursue their individual dreams. The photography & interior decor for urban rural settings are superb, capturing the essence of both and very pleasant to drink in.

You'll see many films in this genre but this is certainly above average (there's nothing to nitpick here - this is solid filmmaking) and worth another viewing or three.

In 2020 - where quality screenwriting is to be found in TV series/TV movies and rarely in the clunky Hollywood releases, where the emphasis can be on star power and special effects - dramas like this one are rare to find indeed.

Love a guy, leave a guy, find a new guy, leave a new guy, find an old guy, love an old guy...it never gets old, you can't see the forest for the trees, you can't see what right there in front of you. Did I mention that EC is an easy 10'er?

Primarily. I think everybody who gave it a good review must have confused it with another film Secondarily.

I watched it in a UK Channel Five crime series screened in the matinee slot. After fifty minutes of tedium. I was still waiting for the murder. It never happened.

Instead I was bombarded by inane vacuous philosophical yawp. Spoken by wooden characters. Who firmly believed we live forever and can have everything.

Oh dear. Are some people in for a rude awakening ? One hundred years ago. Only a short time relatively. Our forebears felt they were lucky to be alive, valued each day given to them and counted their blessings. No matter how terrible any of their lives might have appeared. They just thanked God for it and never complained this stupid film seems to perpetrate a myth which if believed will inevitably result in impressionable souls being seduced by a total fiction If you live in the real world as I do. Ignore this fairy tale.
