Lovely lovely movie. Recommended it to my friends and they loved it too. At first, it seems like another "Seventeen Again" type but it's a bit different because it's less gimmicky and it's really about the main character as a person and not a plot device, the two versions of herself (younger and older), the perceived rift between the two and how that came together.

The movie is fantasy but also very accurately captures feelings, and situations realistically and in a way that touches you: being in a dead-end relationship, giving up on your dreams, forgetting who you are and finding that again. Apart from this movie, I've never seen a drama character "find herself" in a way that didn't seem overly mawkish or make me roll my eyes cuz it was filled with cliches. And Suddenly Seventeen does all this while remaining genuinely funny. I also enjoyed watching the relationships she had with those two guys; funny and also insightful.

One thing I love and appreciate about this movie is that it doesn't disparage either youth (her younger self) or being older. It just portrays both things as they are and I empathised with both versions. I cried towards the end.

I'm not a movie buff so I don't know the correct terms but I really loved the scenes, transitions, camera angles, the lighting, and how the soundtrack played into all of that.

Would 10/10 recommend this movie. It's such a gem.
