I like the idea that this movie and To Every You I've Loved Before are connected in such a way that both should be watched in order to understand the entire story. I will say this I enjoyed this movie more out of the two, but I think the idea behind the two movies was much better than the execution. I also believe this should be the first movie you watch out of the two.

Nike ad. Should i watch the other movie? This one ks so meh

Initial thoughts before watching the sister film: Everything I've read indicates that the two movies, as a pair, elevate each other beyond their individual qualities, and I certainly hope that's true because this is a substantially lousy film as a standalone piece. Production standards feel more akin to a sub-par seasonal than a movie, and the voice acting & sound balancing are horrendous. The bland visuals and soundscape leave characters feeling flat, which hinders the emotional weight of what seems like it should be a touching romance. It's hard to comment on the narrative as a whole while I know I've only got 'half of the pieces', but no degree of this dual-movie gimmick working is going to save this from being a poorly made film in the first place.
