I'll give it a 6/10. There were parts that bored me and some that touched me. It taught me the value friendship though and also to count your blessings.
It's so so beautiful....
And the end was so touching...
(i liked the idea of the plot, those marked-changing years.. i liked music. i liked Paris. i liked that little nostalgia-feeling, tickling me.. i liked hairstyle of Anne Hathaway... i liked those true-deep emotions, who came while watching this nice film).
I like the twist and the ending but the story as a whole isn't quite engaging. What kind of best friend makes a contact to each other only a day in a year?
They don't contact each other once in a year, the 'One Day' refers to the day they originally met and the book/movie focuses in on that day each year. They mention often how they spend time together and contact each other during the year.
One Day explores a friendship/romance over the course of 15 years, but by looking at only one day a year, necessarily the 15th of July. A cute conceit for a book, it just does not work as a film. I had hopes since I'm generally interested in unusual structures, and the cast includes a lot of people I like - Anne Hathaway, Patricia Clarkson, a bit part for Jodie Whittaker - but in addition to American actors putting on British accents (a pet peeve of mine), there's just no real interiority here. It feels like we have to be told where we're up to all the time because there's just no room for the characters to evolve. We just have to take it on faith that their friendship has grown, or that it's on the rocks, or whatever. Some bouncy dialog and occasional truths make it watchable, but ultimately, it just comes off as dull. The gimmick takes away too much of what's needed for the narrative to function on an emotional level.

It's no a great movie, but it has a nice plot, good acting. I think the book is probably better.rodrigomiguel
