I found this movie to be very heartwarming. It's well cast and beautifully executed. It's a definite tearjerker & has easily become one of my favourites.
I'm particularly a sucker for happy endings and even though this specific movie didn't have it, I understood why & found it more realistic.
Would I have liked Will & Stella to overcome the odds and work out? Sure! But the direction the writers and producers took is far beyond satisfactory.
It was very heartbreaking and emotional to watch Will say goodbye and to me, that's what I appreciated most about it, it's truth. A lot of research went into it and it shows.
It stimulates emotions & that's all I ever ask for when watching a movie.
Cole and Haley are absolutely amazing and I was hooked from the get-go!
