I’m watching this again tonight; it’s 20 years ago since it first appeared.
Such a lovely film, maybe one day we will meet ’ the one’.
It promoted Hugh Grant to stardom, followed by Notting Hill of course.
I met a special woman, fell in love, and got married. Turned out we were both alcoholics.
I lost my wife to breast cancer, some years ago now. I watch this film and think of her.
Just wondered what other people thought of the film?
Went to a matinee last week and saw this. Very good. Based on a true story of the first lady who swam across the English Channel. It’s a Disney, so you can’t go wrong.
Jacqueline (Two-Time Academy Award nominee Cynthia Erivo), a young refugee, lands alone and penniless on a Greek island, where she tries first to survive and then to cope with her past. While gathering her strength, she begins a friendship with a rootless tour-guide (Alia Shawkat) and together they find the resilience to forge ahead.
The main actors Cynthia Erivo and Alia Shawkat were great in it. It was very moving, recommended
Brilliant movie. I was riveted from beginning to end. I know the history, but that isn’t what really spoke to me about this movie. It was the acting and the cinematography. The camera angles, the perspectives and shots, the choice of focus and symbolism, the choreography of sight and sound, light and dark. It was really, really well done.

It’s so boring I gave up half way through, and I can watch Antiques Roadshow without reaching for my phone for added entertainment!
I give it half a starfish
And that half is only because Chris Pine is mostly shirtless
I found this to be an excellent film it’s mostly about sex addiction but there is abit about alcoholism too but I think it deals very well with the struggle of addiction and recovery
