I love it when a movie surprises me by being not what I expected. She Came to Me ends up going in completely different directions that one would expect and in doing so tells what turns out to be (if maybe a little absurd) a charming and rather optimistic portrait of love.
She Came to Me is not your typical rom-com and has more in common with a European romance. Yes there are a lot of moments that made me question its logic, but what comes from it is the kind of story that will make you smile.
Centred in this is Dinklage in a tour de force performance. He has the incredible ability to express so much with his face and here he holds nothing back playing a complicated and challenging character.
She Came to Me takes quite a few shortcuts and doesn't always justify all the twists and turns it takes. You do have to forgive a certain amount. But if you do the payoff is wonderful. And as the film reaches its conclusion it is about the complexities and intricacies of finding imperfect and perhaps not permanent love.
