Mia Hall (Moretz) kann sich nicht vorstellen, dass sie je eine schwierigere Entscheidung treffen muss: Soll sie ihr Musikstudium an der Juilliard School aufnehmen? Oder soll sie zugunsten ihrer großen Liebe Adam (Blackley) darauf verzichten? Doch dann werden auf einem zunächst unbeschwerten Familienausflug die Weichen plötzlich völlig anders gestellt. Einige bange Stunden bleibt offen, ob Mia den Tag überleben wird. In dieser Situation geht es um noch fundamentalere Entscheidungen: Was Mia heute beschließt, hat Auswirkungen auf den Rest ihres Lebens. (Warner Bros. DE)

I was looking forward to a film with Chloë Grace Moretz, and I ended up with a film with Chloë Grace Moretz. That's it. It's an emotional story about how you can lose everything and maybe still gain something. I found the scene with grandpa Stacy Keach really touching, showing that he still had it in him. Otherwise, it's just a classic Hollywood assault on your emotions that I don't enjoy.

Another of those teen life dramas that any of us might experience at some point. However, I must admit that I really liked the idea itself, which seemed very original to me. But as original as it is, it is also quite a tear-jerker, and I believe that the more emotional of viewers will cry here and there. Especially at the end, which seems like a pretty harsh wake-up call in this sad story. I didn’t even breathe. For some, the pathos might be too much. The Americans know how to push with these emotional stories. Anyway, I didn’t mind it. I got exactly what I wanted from this.

A life crossroads in the true sense of the word. But only for devout sentimental dreamers who are no strangers to nostalgia. The story of a wandering soul who remembers a kiss with a boy from the band and evenings with freethinking parents, cannot (nor does it try to) offer a dense plot, shocking twists, or anything that the local one-star critics probably expected. It simply offers that crossroads, that indecision, and a few warm memories, and the sadder consequences, which at the age of seventeen seem so significant that you cannot imagine anything greater in your life. For those who can remember themselves at this age, some emotional questions can be burdensome. Love can actually mean Life.

A romantic drama with lots of great music, which I'd have to be crazy not to like. The attempt to wring emotions out of the audience is quite noticeable, but as long as I don't get bored with it and the story draws me in, I'll happily forgive it. (75%)
