Timeless Love (2019 TV Movie)
8/10
Enjoyable modern mystical romance
16 June 2020
This charming romance story is based on a mystical or fantasy premise. A woman in a coma dreams about being married to a man she later meets who turns out to exactly fit the man in the dream. It is a bit of a different premise which is refreshing. It also has a flavor of a few movies about people whose real life marriage is interrupted while they wake up in a world where they never married that person but get a chance to see how both lives turned out otherwise. (A slightly different take on it is the 2000 movie Family Man where the man wakes up and is suddenly married with family to the woman he long ago left behind. An even different take on a similar theme is Sliding Doors which follows two parallel universe versions of a woman's life based on one version where she missed making a connection and one where she didn't miss it.) If you didn't guess, I like this kind of stuff.

The two leads have obvious chemistry and those actors do a fine job. We get to see the relationship develop in a realistic way. The two main characters are totally likeable and if anything they are both a little too perfect.

I agree with another reviewer in that I was totally annoyed by her parents, but fortunately those scenes are relatively small. There is also a rival girlfriend which I thought was done just about right.

Yes it's predictable, but that doesn't make the ending any less heartwarming.
