The story of a rich girl falling in love with a poor labourer is familiar territory, and while it has its moments, it doesn't quite break new ground. The performances are solid, but I found myself wishing for a bit more depth in the characters. There are scenes that shine, especially those highlighting the couple's chemistry, but other moments drag on, making the film feel longer than necessary. It’s not a bad film by any means, but it might leave you wanting more originality. If you’re in the mood for a romantic drama, give it a go, but don’t expect to be blown away. Show less
