The Longest Ride

Wow, I was very pleasantly surprised, expecting a bit of a light weight romance. There's all of that usual formula to it, but it is done VERY well, and gets lots of details just right. The director and actors are all at the top of their game and I was carried along rooting for and caring for everyone all the way. Not all syrup, a few nicely thought out truths about the price of choices and meaning of commitment. Mixing in the comparisons from the previous generation was touching and well engineered. The narrative could have been awkward, complex as it was, and I'd worried it might be from trailers, but it was well executed. Characters were complex and well built up, their challenges were credible and engaging, the ending by no means foregone and the realisation of how it was going to end, as it dawned, was a twist that still left me impressed. I loved the final scene, to show the aftermath, 1 year on. Highly recommended. Much better than any of The Lucky one, Notebook, Dear John, Safe Haven or the Vow... which I thought were all good in the same genre too. Parental advice: No F bombs or nudity (in one short scene nearly, only), the age rating (15) I thought pretty strict! I'd've given it a 12.

An excellent film,a MUST watch.

It had been a while since I read the book of this, which I'm glad about as I couldn't make too many comparisons. I thought the actor that played Luke was perfect for the role and was exactly how I imagined him to be. The film is really well done and the ending even had my husband in tears!

nice movie

Good story, bit predictable but the second narrative, the older man and his lost love makes up for it. Simple chick flick movie with a bull riding twist.

forget reality for a few hoursand settle down to watch this wonderful film.if you loved the notebook you will love this. it's a timeless romance which is made better by scott eastwood who is very easy on the eye. alan alda plays his part with such touching scenes you will laugh and cry together.

Lovely feel good film, was recommended by my Dad and it sounded dire and not my cup of tea when he was going on about it being about a rodeo rider, but that isn't the point of the story at all, and neither is he the main character in my opinion, so well worth a viewing.

Lovely, lovely film. This has 2 timeline stories within the film and it’s brilliant. It doesn’t get confusing when it flips from the past to present day and the whole thing seems very well written and executed. Love this purchase and I would recommend this to all.

Greatest 🎥

Leí el libro y tenía ganas de ver la película y me ha gustado muchísimo. Hago colección de los libros y las películas y ya tengo otra más para la coleccion

très bon film

ils sont beaux et sympa, le destin joue bien son rôle, pas de bavures, et ceci grâce à l'histoire parallèle d'un homme veuf qui l'a vécu lui aussi, début chouette , lectures de belles lettres , comment avancer vers l'amour total et fin géniale. du sport , sorte de rodéo mais pas que cela, surtout le mental, la peur des accidents et enfin victoire et bonne décision des héros. un moment de tendresse. un plaisir humain.

Great movie to watch with your wife or girlfriend.
