    Refreshing!!!

    It was precisely a refreshing movie , something new, something unexpected(at least in the beginning).

    I don't have much to say about the acting and the direction as I found it to be good, I am not completely moved by the characters but it was a good watching them unravel in their own essence.

    The bond between the mother and the daughter stayed with me the most, the way a mother helps her daughter sort her life even after her death was a very good concept. The concept of CDs and the in the chase of inheritance the daughter ends up figuring out her whole life which was beautiful.

    I found it to be very predictable , but anyone who watches this movie would surely enjoy the process of it. It makes you want to have a family like what Alexandra Caroline Rose had, I would say she was really lucky to have them by her side always and she also gradually figured out their importance in the movie.

    I liked how the brother and sister bond was shown, how they actually communicated through their emotions and how it was shown that just because your brother doesn't say anything or acts indifferent is not because he dislikes you but he might have his own insecurities or envies.

    I liked the character of Alexandra who was fearless, bold and yet coy and was proudly a mess.

    Overall it's a good watch, one must definitely watch it to lighten up their mood. I watched it with my mom, you should watch it with your beloved ones too.

    A little shallow but still delivers warmth

    I can't help but compare it with PS I Love You. Now they have different approaches and plot so it's hardly fair to do so but while watching this I just wish they dug deeper into it and the other movie kept popping out my mind.

    It's not a bad movie by any means. It's soft and warm feeling when watching I did tear up in some scenes because I can relate with the deceased mother scenario so it felt more personal to me seeing a mother-daughter movie. It's very simple and predictable movie that tries to focus on character growth, familial bonding, love, career...basically life and having the better version of yourself. But that's the issue is that they skirted very lightly on these. There's just so many focus points that they never got that deep. Like for example I could hardly feel the grief coming from the siblings. They touched upon this here and there but nowhere near enough.

    The movie feels too clean like they're afraid to get dirty with touching the themes but anyway the way they went about the list is good. It felt mature and not childish. I do like the chemistry between the leads. The characters aren't perfect and kinda messy too so they do feel real and not picture perfect fiction. Overall it's good enough for a watch.

    Predictable but still a nice slush fest

    A bucket (life) list with a twist , as being part of the terms of an inheritance.

    Yes it's a predicatable love story, but if you like the genre, the journey is very pleasant .

    The pace and acting is consistent throughout, it kept me entertained without peaks or troughs, a consistent quality of story telling.

    If you likke films like 'Love Actually' or 'Notting Hill' then I suspect you will enjoy this for an evening's entertainment with a glass of wine.

    Solid 7.5/10 and I could watch it again at a later date. A good old fashioned love story and finding oneself .

    If you're looking for action, violence, sex and swearing, this is definitely not a film for you .

    The main actress doesn't know how to act and has 0 chemistry

    The movie had an interesting premise, but the execution was disappointing. The biggest issue was the lead actress, who failed to convey any real emotion. Her performance felt lifeless, making it hard to connect with her character. She had absolutely no chemistry with anyone, especially the love interest, which made their relationship unconvincing and awkward. This seems to be a recurring problem in her other films as well. Weak direction, uninspired storytelling, and poor pacing only made things worse. The film lacked depth, excitement, and impact, making it ultimately forgettable. Too long for its own good.

    Lovely movie

    Made me smile, made me cry and everything in between. Absolutely lovely and touching, showing a story about growth and change, as well as family relationships and a touch of romance.

    Not every movie has my full attention, but this one has gripped me from the start. I don't think even a part of it was remotely boring or uninteresting or unimportant for the overall story.

    Even though the main point of the movie was Alex trying to complete her life list that she made when she was a teenager, it didn't feel childish whatsoever. They approached it from a mature perspective and showed what growth and change for Alex looked like.

    A rare movie without any violence, any explicit content, just so pure and touching.

    Everyone's performance in this movie was amazing, and especially Sofia's.

    Definitely worth watching!
