Anyone who likes flicks like "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (2004) and "The Time Traveler's Wife" (2009) should appreciate it, although it’s less convoluted and easier-to-understand.
The better side of London is shown, and England in General.
The film runs 1 hour, 32 minutes, and was shot in Greater London and Cumbria, England (the mountainous area).
