If I Stay

In June 2020, I watched the movie If I Stay for the first time on DVD. The romantic drama movie was released in 2014. The lead is Chloe Grace Moretz. The film is based on the book with the same name written by Gayle Forman. 

It describes the youth of Mia, the daughter of a close family who meets a car accident.

One month earlier, I watched the movie Brain on Fire, which also stars Chloe Grace Moretz and is based on a true story. It was deep and fun, so I had expected the 2014 movie to have what is worth watching without the charm of Chloe. However, it turned out to be just a romance, after all. I felt that only the acting of the attractive Chloe as Mia deserved to be watched. The story might quite move people who have lost someone very special by car accidents and people who have had to have long-distance relationships with their lovers. I also felt that it was good as a romance, so romantic movie fans might love it. All the same, I could not empathize with the characters so much because it is a complete fiction. Moreover, I am not interested in a romance between a beautiful young couple. I was kind of touched by the parental love, though. Then I liked Mia's best friend, Kim, played by Liana Liberato who had a round face, winsomely smiled and looked very charming. Plus, although I could not feel the performances of a band of Mia's boyfriend's to be cool at all, yet Mia playing the cello looked awesome and beautiful.
