'Voicemails for Isabelle' is an emotional romance centred on grief and unexpected human connection.
Okay, why did I think "Voicemails for Isabelle" was going to be a romcom? No seriously.
I pressed play, expecting something light. Something cute. Something that would give me a few laughs, a few swoon-worthy moments and then send me on my way.
Instead, I spent the better part of two hours crying at least once every 10 minutes and questioning why nobody prepared me for the emotional rollercoaster I had just willingly climbed aboard.
That's not to say the film isn't funny. It is. There are genuinely charming moments scattered throughout and enough humour to stop the story from becoming unbearably heavy. But what completely caught me off guard was just how much heart this film has.
