I admit, I started watching for Kris, but I actually found myself getting more emotionally invested in the grandmother's story than the modern storyline. There is a really great message at the end of the movie that honestly made me tear up. The cinematography is wonderful as well, especially since the backdrop is Prague. The story itself was pretty slow for the first half of the movie. I would've given this movie a 6, but the last twenty-ish minutes gave it a huge boost. It picked up speed and tied all the loose ends together. Everyone in the cast was great, save for the female lead. She's not a bad actress, but I just didn't feel connected to her throughout the movie. This was a beautiful movie with a touching message at the end. There are two storylines that are interlaced throughout the movie in a way that makes sense. As I said before the ending is amazing, and there were no loose ends. I'd definitely recommend giving this a try!
