I think I would’ve loved it very much if the ending was, again, not “falling in love with someone you’re not supposed to” but something else. The aesthetic of the time of the movie and culture was something to focus on as well as the contrast of the different languages spoken by Stanley from London and Sophie from Micchigan. I wished the friendship between these two was more special than just romanticising the phenomenon of just “falling in love with someone you’re not supposed to”. Guess I watched too many movies and drama that this kind of ending doesn’t entertain me anymore. So 6 out of 10.
