First of all, I must say that the movie was good, especially for this era where emotions have faded. It can bring the power of love back to the screen. It's true that the movie was cliché, but as we all know, films with clichéd themes can still have a significant impact if well executed. Especially in a world that needs these kinds of films to remind people of the strength of love. Just like there were issues in the movie, I don't have a problem with its clichéd nature. However, the director and the writer could have added depth to the emotions in many places with some changes. The cinematographer could have captured the depth of emotions more effectively in many emotional scenes through skilled camera movement, and at least prevent the cinematography from being too clichéd. The writer could have crafted stronger dialogues, especially during the climax of the film. Personally, I would rate the cinematography a 6 out of 10, the dialogues a 5 out of 10, and overall, I would give the film a rating of 5 to 5.2 for its effort in portraying love.

Acting is pretty atrocious from almost every character. Everything is stiff, the music is predictably cheesy and immature, like the background of a barney episode.

Script is predictable, cliche, and well, dorky.

It seems like an AI wrote this script.

All the scenes seem really rushed, like this was a first time director just trying things out for the first time, and wanting to get everything done in one take.

Seriously, you could guess the next line of each character. That's how predictable everything is. Here's the part what they cry, here's the loving father son moment, etc.

Don't waste you time. There are much better movies in this genre.

Two strangers: Mia, an orphaned girl, and Kyle, a boy reeling from the guilt of a fatal accident, hit the road to find Mia's biological mother. The characters are likeable, their journey is all fun and the Spanish scenery is just beautiful. The story is emotional and a little bit of a tearjerker, too.

Unlike recent YA movies (After, Through My Window, Beautiful Disaster, My Fault), this one is not centered on fighting & sex scenes; instead, it gives off the vibes of good old romances about young love from several years ago. It's the right choice if you want to watch something sweet & cute at the weekend or on a Friday night.

After a horrible car accident, kyle is totally devastated. Out of the blue, he meets mia, and she convinces him to join her on the trip to spain, which she already had planned. At first, kyle is a jerk, and won't speak, but after a while (for some reason...) he warms up to her. Kyle even offers to buy her a shirt when she spills something on her own. Although she flat out refuses to wear one of his... which would have been the easier solution... odd. And everywhere they go, they drive right up to where they want to be.... they never seem to have to look for tourist parking. I'm guessing this was written for a younger audience. At about the midpoint, a secret comes out, that changes their relationship completely. Can they go back to at least being friends? Will mia ever find her mother? She and kyle seem to be (finally) honest with each other, and may even help each other. But there are more secrets to come out. Cute little story, in spite of some plot-holes, and silly script issues; were so many things unsaid for a reason, or was it just bad editing? Or maybe a weak script? It's pretty good... script needed a little juicing up. Directed by joaquín llamas. It looks like he has done mostly television prior to this. Story by victoria vinuesa. This definitely has the feel that it started out as someone's personal story. And was jazzed up to make a good film. It's mostly good. A little over-sentimental, for the sake of the heart strings.

I haven't read the book or heard of it either, so I'm coming from an unaware place. But the acting was so terrible I couldn't sit through the entire movie. It was so animated and unrealistic. Or am I missing something here? Please someone explain! The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, almost as if the script was an afterthought. The character development seemed shallow, lacking depth and nuance. Scenes that were probably meant to be impactful came off as comical due to poor execution. It's like the director prioritized style over substance, leading to a disjointed narrative flow. The cinematography, while visually appealing, couldn't compensate for the lack of a coherent storyline. It's disappointing because with a better approach, the film had the potential to be engaging. It's a classic example of how crucial good direction and scripting are in translating a story from page to screen.

This is a movie with a deep message that I also enjoyed after reading the original novel written by Victoria Vinuesa. I loved to watch how the characters open up about their true worries in a different, loving and totally truthful way that I have never seem till now in a movie. Some of my beliefs, regarding life after death and how much loved we truly are, completely changed. Mia is a character that helped me to question myself, as after seeing her deep love for humanity and her true worries about our indiferent behaviour, I couldn't resist to question myself in that way too. With no doubt I recommend watching the film and also reading the book.

No pun intended - this feels like it was written by that one guy who does these dramas with characters having an illness or some trauma ... or maybe both (doesn't have to be the same person of course). The actors are quite fine in this one - but they can't save the movie from anyone. Especially not the predictability this carries with it.

Not to mention the ending that cannot win either way - going that way, half the audience won't like you ... and vice versa. Life is hard, decisions can be quite harrowing. Living with them ... not easy at all to say the least. If you are able to suspend your disbelief .. and if you are a bit of a sucker for romantic comedies... you could do worse.

I was excited to see a movie taking place in my country and the movie became a comedy of how impossible it was to drive from one place to another (of the places she is scratching on her notebook), and how inefficient that list was!! They backtracked placed several times. The movie shows the most stereotypical Spain and it is very inaccurate. In the movie one minute they are in the south, next scene they are 300 miles away in Madrid, people don't leave their doors open in Spain and most people don't leave on the historical city center houses. The movie is doing a disfavor to any body interested in traveling to the country. They will be very shocked when they encounter reality and I hope they don't expect to do that trip in 3 (or even 6) days.

The lead actress carried this film. The boy was good too in an understated way. But she exuded a rare freshness.

I like the idea that two wounded souls with a connection help each other while on a mission.

I always come back to the same criticism. Lack of character development. Who is the boy? He has white parents and seems to be of some sort of mixed background. That's odd casting without an explanation.

The girl still calls her foster mother "Mrs." after a decade? The kids are the same age and are from a relatively small area, Yet they have never seen each other?

I get the idea of her needing a driver, but I don't believe that she would camp with someone she didn't even know.

I do respect that there was a scene when the boy breaks down with emotion. That is often missing in emotional films where one character never takes their guard down.

It has a lovely theme of healing, and the power of human connection, with beautiful scenery and a good twist.

Part of what sells it is the use of unknown performers. That makes it seem more real.

Ok this was not the best movie every made and you know where everything is going and have seen elements of it before. Not going to say "AI" because the story had heart and usually AI can't deliver that.

Basically the main male character (Kyle) is going through a rough time because he was recently in a car accident that killed one and severely injured his friend. Kyle was not hurt at all leading to a lot of guilt. One day while considering suicide, Mia spots him and inserts herself into his life to stop him. She follows him home and offers Kyle a 10 day trip to Spain (on her). Kyle goes with this total stranger because he doesn't really care anymore and wants to get away. In Spain, Kyle finds out what Mia is really up to and, of course, they fall in love.

If this movie gets points it is the performance of the main character, she is a real positive nelly that it is charming to see in this day and age of ultra cool bummers. The movie also has a happy ending which is a good thing as movies today just can't resist ending on a sour note. It is full of tropes and ideas from other films but the performances I think help a lot with that.

An 18-year-old orphan who is dying wants to travel to Europe to track down her mother, so when she meets a kind-hearted young man who is recovering from the guilt of a fatal accident, she convinces him to accompany her on the journey. See You on Venus follows Mia (Virginia Gardner) and Kyle (Alex Aiono), two misfit American teens who travel to Spain in search of Mia's birth mother. As the pair road trip through the picturesque cities of Andalusia and fall in love, they discover that the most important question isn't who gave you life but what you decide to do with it.

To begin with, they are doing the itinerary in a way that I dream of doing, a tour of France (Europe as a whole would be my preference), in a mini motorhome, a Kombi, deliciously perfect... A cute teen movie, full of traumatized teenagers, but with a high spirit and joy that warms our hearts... Beautiful photography, basic script, convincing couple...

It is clear to me that this story contains much more than what appears on the surface. It gives me the feeling that its creator and writer is someone with a sensitivity and talent that has yet to be discovered and honored in cinema. Since her novel in which this film is inspired is working so well and has a depth and dimension I rarely find in others... I'm really looking forward to seeing her next works. I enjoyed watching See you on Venus and loved the charisma and tenderness Virginia Gardner brings to her character, cause is close to Mía from the book. Thanks for creating such a lovely story.

The acting and the music is like really really bad and cheezy. No way anyone can think this is quality. The music they put on for emphases is like something out of a show for kids or a bad porn film.

Hardly made it to 10 minutes before I lost interest. Just a minute or 2 and I felt this was really bad.

I can´t say anything about the whole film since I have better things to do than to torture myself through this bad music and acting..

Seriously Netflix need to stop putting on things like this that are just too low quality. Not sure what else to say to get all the characters in... the review.. There. The end.

This movie careens from one tug at your heartstrings storyline to another, over and over, literally one after another after another. One teen suffering from trauma, one from a lifetime of foster homes who desparetely wants to find her real mother. There are health issues - mental and physical - and, of course there's the requisite love story as the relationship between Mia and Kyle develops over the course of their sudden trip to Spain (yes, this also manages along the way to become a sort of "road trip" movie.)

The story is cliche. You pretty much know where it's going from the moment it starts. Sure there are a few detours and sudden turns along the way, but the basic direction is set out very early and it's just a matter of how the movie is going to get to its inevitable destination. There's no real standout performance in this. Virginia Gardner is likeable enough as Mia, and Alex Aiono does a decent enough job of gradually turning the brooding and traumatized Kyle into a softer version of himself. There's just honestly not enough meat to make this worthwhile watching. (3/10)
