Major Jessica Day / Zoey Deschanel energy from Emilia Clark here. Also major "adapted from a romance novel" vibes.
It is definitely not like any other romance movie I've seen before, with the whole assisted suicide plot and all.
It's a pretty good watch if you don't think critically about it, and if you don't mind two Ed Sheeran songs (I like Ed, but it's weird that there are two). At its core, it's still a romance novel though, and it leans into the cheesiness and tropes. The guy literally lives in a castle.
