This is my reintroduction to my soft movie era A Journal for Jordan was amazing I love how it starts off as a simple love story then slowly grows into something deeper, a story Charles is telling Jordan through the journal the way the movie blends love legacy and emotion really hits different

The movie wasn’t as bad as people said but it wasn’t a masterpiece either
Reminded me of something we’d all watch as a family when the weathers cold outside
Slow love burner too that fiercely and slowly burns until it’s too late
Can’t say I didn’t enjoy it
