”Justin Baldoni’s adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s beloved bestseller leans shamelessly — and not unsatisfyingly — into the source material’s romance novel trappings, conjuring an outsized, soapy fantasy of heartbreak and resilience that only falters when it tries to ground itself in reality. I would have liked the movie better if it were even cornier.” – WBUR’s Arts & Culture, 08/08/2024
