What to say? I didn't see the finale coming... I was sobbing towards the end.... Gorgeous film really.... you go along with the hyperactive and chaotic and lost Kate, excellently played by Emilia Clark... you get to learn about her life her parents, her job, her home situation, the man she falls in love with, her friends, her sister. Slowly, bit by bit the story unfolds... we get invested in all these characters and story lines, with Kate in the middle... her sweet new love, her immigrant mother and father, the hidden relationship of her sister and the tensious relationship she has with all of them... slowly we learn more about Kate's childhood and that it is no coincidence she falls in love with Tom Webster. Skillfully writen script by Emma Thomson and Greg Wise. The big finale overwhelmed me... I didn't see it coming... but when I told my mother to watch this film she said she saw it coming at this and that point in the film... beautiful... really beautiful. Well done Emma Thompson and Greg Wise! Write some more scripts! You are so so good at it. And all the actors involved: they are all delivering. Beautiful.
