All love

This is all about love: a mother's love, knowing that love is love (gay, straight, trans), young love, self-love, first love, lost love....you name it....all love is here. It's also about my favourite thing: time travel.

This is about fear and rage. Fear of being left behind. Rage at how one group can make choices and they are praised, while another can make the same choice but are villified (and are made to endure the consequences). That was explored so well and clearly.

One night and one event can have a ripple effect, which touches so many lives. What would you do if you found yourself in a future you had never envisaged? Would you try to get back to your past? Why wouldn't you stay in the future in an unexpected and successful life?

This story was so good - the main character (Alex, played by New) is a gynaecologist, so there were discussions about taboos, pregnancy, female bodies, pleasure. I'm not sure what I expected, but I'm so glad I watched it.

I've seen New once before (in Cherry Magic) and I like his acting even more now. I liked how he portrayed a nervous 17 year old who felt left out (I think that's standard for many 17 year olds!) and then a nervous 27 (?) year old, who slowly became a confident professional. His acting when he found out the last reason he couldn't get back was top notch! In fact, that whole scene was painful and heartbreaking.

What I liked: all the actors were great and believable. Jean (played by Fah) - was a mature and sensible character with a secret. Fabulous. The soundtrack was great. The discussions were done in an adult way and it didn't feel like anything was done in a silly childish way. They explored the important need for consent. Discussions about difference.
What I didn't like: usual - anything that involves bullying (I know that (sadly) it's a part of many people's lives).

You must watch this: it's funny, thought provoking and intelligently covers many issues!
