Restless Movie Review

Tuesday night, I decided to see if there were any decent-looking movies on this website where I watch movies and shows all the time. I was simply glancing at the selection and stumbled upon a movie called "Restless". I thought that the movie cover was simply perfect and (obviously, since I'm a girl) it appealed to me because the couple(Enoch and Annabell), were really close and her bright red scarf was blowing in the wind.

Adorable, right? 

The story is about this guy named Enoch Brae, and he goes to funerals uninvited, he is unemployed, and he is friends with a Japanese kamikaze ghost name Hiroshi. At a funeral, Enoch meets a young girl named Annabell who is attending her uncle(or cousins) funeral(they mentioned it once and left it at that.) You can tell that Annabell really likes Enoch, just by looking at him once. Enoch then gets in trouble with a pastor because he's shown up to a bunch of services that he's done, Annabell then comes and tells the pastor that Enoch is her "boyfriend" and they escape the awkward guy and chill out in the back. Enoch leaves, then sees Annabell at a cemetery the next day when he is with Hiroshi. They go for a walk, they talk, time passes and they fall in love. Annabell told Enoch in the beginning that she works at the hospital in the cancer treatment center, but she's really just a cancer patient and she has three months to live.

The story to me was really sweet and it was tender. It almost made me cry. Ferrealsies. I'm not a crier when it comes to movies, too. I loved the cute quirkiness in romance and interests that they shared and even though it was probably just another love story, it seemed different. Hiroshi was an amazing character to have in the movie even though he didn't really do much except be there for Annabell and Enoch when times were rough and they needed someone. Annabell, she's sweet and she really has no limits for anything. Enoch seems sheltered and he breaks out when he meets Annabell, then he's flying high. 
I give the movie a 7/10 stars for the cute and quirkiness. 



Question: What's your favorite movie of all time?
