An engaging and evocative film. You either get it and feel something, or you don't...it all depends on which frequency you're tapped into. Regardless, it's good entertainment!

Rewatching the original series, and it’s a stark reminder of how terrible this reunion was! Just terrible! What a mess the Gilmore Girls appear to have made of their lives through ridiculously poor choices…sigh. The 1 star is for nostalgia and Emily Gilmore (though, that too was dragged out). Also, one’s the minimum.

I watched this film with no expectations, so it was sweet and entertaining enough (if a little flat and bland), but what's with the inconsistency these days? Filmmakers today don't understand how important details can be... Which country is the film set in? How can our 2 main characters, both raised by Brits, sound American? It's lazy and distracting.

Negatives: Inauthentic representation of the pre-2023 eras - the producers probably should've taken the time to research how people spoke and behaved during specific time periods; the fact that they didn't is glaringly obvious and distracting! (Watch another period drama if you can't be bothered) Poor casting - from all the thousands of actors out there, you couldn't find a more charismatic/memorable/impactful Julian Harker?! Or Danny Barber? Or Defoe? Gosh, terrible choices. (Dis)honourable mention to Iris Maplewood as well, though she's a good actress, at least. Tepid chemistry - you just couldn't get invested in the Polly/Sir Julian or Maplewood/Defoe relationships because there was zero on-screen chemistry there. Polly and Sir Julian together was just strange. Positives: Engaging story Nicely tied-up ending Give it a watch, sure!
