Production

The film was shot in various places across Europe over a three-and-a-half year period, with post-production being completed in Berlin. [2]

Reception

The film received mixed reviews from critics, with The Dissolve describing it as a "charming romantic comedy/drama" with a "smart script" and praising the lead performances; [3] The Hollywood Reporter meanwhile felt that it was "all too familiar in its plethora of indie rom-com conventions", adding: "It's a marvelous travelogue: you'll immediately want to book tickets to Montenegro and Berlin [after] seeing it. But little else will linger in your memory". [4] Similarly, the Los Angeles Times found it "scenic" and parts of the narrative to be "compelling", but summarised it as an "indulgent selfie of a big-screen romance". [5]
