6What people say
Deeply romantic, but grounded in the truth that the things that draw you to a person can also be the things that push you away. Handles the time jumps really elegantly. The whole thing is so fluid and lyrical and lovely, always making sure to keep our couple front and centre however chaotic the rest of the frame gets. Talking of which: my goodness, their chemistry! I loved looking at them look at each other. And I loved this.
You have to bounce on it crazy style 10 times to have kids? I mean, I'll try
