At the first side, this film could be too many romantic but when you watch it, you realise that it’s more than that. I don’t love romantic drama film but I watched The Longest Ride during my flight to Los Angeles two years ago and I fell in love with this story. The film show two different lover story which are finally very similar and very complicated. I will never stop watching this film and I advise you to watch it as soon as possible.
