Love, Rosie

This review may contain spoilers!

This film decided to cut effective storytelling for well...um...did anything even happen in this film? I would give Love, Rosie a 3.5/10.

What I enjoyed about Love, Rosie was the music; it had a really good sense of how to use music for both serious and comedic moments.

Jaime Winstone, who played Ruby, really was one of the few funny things about this film; she brought a lot of energy to a film that was rather lifeless.

Lily Collins, who played Rosie Dunne, really carried the film as it's lead. She portrayed an amazing range of emotions and really showed that despite being cast in a film that begged 'death of career', she still has talent in spades. Time and again she'd win you over in a scene and it really did become her story alone.

This film had some of the most basic and dull editing and cinematography that I have ever had to suffer in a film. More than that the film was quick to make something happen and move on. Everything in the film moved too quickly that you never became emotionally attached to the film or it's characters, There was a lot of exaggerated plot points, unfortunate circumstances and rom com stereotype that you felt basically flogged with.

Sam Claflin, who played Alex Stewart, gave a really dull performance; it felt like he was going through the motions of a script without giving himself to the character. Suki Waterhouse, who played Bethany Williams, was a very generic airhead and her entire character arc was completely unrealistic. Tamsin Egerton, who played Sally, really played up her role to the point where you couldn't take her character seriously at all. Christian Cooke, who played Greg, was bland and brought back into the script for necessity sake. Lily Laight, who played Katie Dunne, reminded us all that not every child actor was good at acting; in fact she reminded us the stereotype is that child actors generally suck.
