Juliet, Naked 2018

For a romcom Juliet, Naked does a lot of things right. I think the cheating plotline was cheesy but the rest of the movie is surprisingly sincere and pretty fun even the predictable parts. Which is why I felt so disappointed when it ended. It was so good I wanted more of it. Which I think it rather good. It might be seen as a negative towards pacing but honestly I just wanted another half hour of the movie before the coda. Everything was getting good and then suddenly there was a shift that always happens in bad romance films that meander and don't know how to transition. The actual coda itself I also wasn't a fan of. The exposition via letter/voice over. It sorta reeks of that telling rather than showing which is a shame because it the movie before that really didn't suffer from that even during the letter writing segments.

I can't say it's a satisfying movie but it's one enjoyed.
