The movie was entertaining. Very slow start very poor ending. However the parts in the middle were good for any forbidden or taboo type of romance. The thing of turning novels into movies is tricky. Movies have to compress every detail into short scenes and piece them tgther to make it as gripping for anyone who has never read the books as for the book fans. Therefore the choice of direction has to be strategic in the choice on which parts of the narrative would be important enough to tell and which to exclude. Here I think the repeated shopping and breakfast scenes were lost opportunities to provide more insite on the characters and their brewing affection. I hadn't read these books so I have no back story on either of these characters. Which is the thing that kept me slightly lost and needing to connect. Perhaps the first few scenes should have focused on introducing the characters with more depth and detail rather than the long, awkward corporate/negotiation scenes which never really tied back to much at the end. The quality of the production overall is very good. The music score kept me pumped and plugged in. The acting quality from the main characters was very convincing and visually pleasing. The storyline... different and that made it interesting. The ending was abit uprupt and dissapointing.

I'm only 37 minutes in but I'm so emotional! You two are incredible and I appreciate the essence of this production. ~ It's okay to invest that much time in ourselves and prioritize happiness rather than chasing time and social norm~. The music is tranascendant Selima... and Felix and Rudi are real trupers. ❤️
