This movie got so much praise that I decided to watch it to see just how good it was. It was just okay. More drama than anything. Not much of a comedy. A girl named Milla has a terminal illness. She meets a loser small time drug dealer named Moses and falls in love with him. They had pretty good chemistry but nothing all that special. Most of the movie is of Milla being in love with Moses but not feeling any love back from him. He leaves her and comes back more than once. This is a slow movie that was maybe a half an hour too long. It probably could have been wrapped up in 90 minutes.
I've seen other love stories similar to this that touched me more with actors who had much better chemistry. One of my favorite love stories is Untamed Heart with Marissa Tomei and Christian Slater. That one really got to me and made me cry my eyes out. This movie is sad at the end, but the impact was not that great to make me fall apart and cry a lot. I'm sure it will be different for everyone. Maybe you'll like it more than I did. But for me, I don't recommend it.
