It's a well acted, beautifully shot, occasionally passionate movie which is a complete drag to watch and is honestly just an extremely boring archetypal romance padded with absurdly long landscape shots and a lot of farming. I almost stopped halfway through, but as a gay man who couldn't get through Brokeback Mountain I gave it another shot before it leaves Netflix.
It does not get more interesting. And am I the only one that finds the romance and story kinda... Blah? An unlikeable British farmer meets perfect husband material and within a few days they are in love apparently (I can deal with that... It's a movie.) Then, the English guy cheats on the Romanian, so the Romanian guy leaves, but everything turns out okay because the British guy finally chases him down? Riveting stuff man...
I summed up the movie to a friend this way... Oh look a sheep! Oh look English country side! Oh look gay sex! Oh look more sheep!
Hard pass. Wouldn't have finished if I wasn't temporarily laid off due to COVID
