Ainda Estou Aqui

I don't understand the low rating or the negative reviews. This movie touched on so many elements of true love and loss. The chemistry between the two actors made it great.

You don't really get movies like this very often that touch upon love and the afterlife. This was well done in my opinion.

There was a semi similar movie, If I Stay (2014) but in my opinion it wasn't anywhere as touching as this.

If only there were an in between where we could communicate with our loved one's one last time. Maybe there is. Maybe some of us have experienced it in some way.

The premise wasn't large enough for the movie. The actors made the love story convincing. There was great beauty in the choice of locations and images. But the lack of depth in the singular point to which the flow of the movie travelled was too superficial to anchor the film, it couldn't rise to greatness. It's too bad, there were such great elements. I wish I could have given this film more than a 7 (okay) out of 10. {Ethereal Romance}

The In Between is a film which has been told before; Ghost (1990) being the main template.

Like 2008's 'Twilight', it's all about the main female lead, Tessa... who like Bella (from Twilight) if she didn't feature in the film everyone else would be better off, and more importantly, alive!

The film gets off to an irritating start! Tessa goes to a struggling cinema to watch a foreign film where several things happen:

1. She doesn't have enough money to pay the full cinema ticket but still goes in 2. She goes to see a foreign film and then demands the elderly man working there puts on subtitles 3. She tells Skylar she will demand her money back - when she didn't have enough money to pay the full price in the first place

It's not a terrible story, but there is nothing original here. 5 out of 10. There are better films around.

I don't care what the critics say or the other reviews this was breathtaking. And Tessa's speech at the end was beautiful and something we all need to come to realize.

The color work on this movie was gorgeous. The play out of their love story was so wonderful. And so genuine.

Both leading actors did a phenomenal job!

There's a whole lotta of "too" involved with this movie: too melodramatic, too much like "Ghost," too many romantic tropes, too too too. All of that said, I'm awarding it one extra star (5->6) for the serious and sincere attempts by star Joey King and the supporting cast (including Celeste O'Connor and Donna Biscoe) to sell all of it to us with a brightly colored bow (or cap) on top.
