My Oxford Year is a romantic film with some comedy elements, and I must say it’s a very nice one to watch. The movie has beautiful photography, a good plot, and actors who, even though not so famous (or at least I did not know them), delivered performances that lived up to the expectations of an easy to watch, pleasant film.

What I really liked about it is how it can take you back to your college or student years. There are funny moments, heartwarming ones, and plenty of beautiful sceneries from the UK. Personally, since I’ve never been to the UK, I really enjoyed seeing the architecture, the streets, and the unique atmosphere that Oxford brings to the screen.
It’s definitely a movie that I would recommend mostly for couples or for girls’ movie nights. It doesn’t have action-packed scenes, so don’t expect fights or thrills. Instead, it focuses on the story, the emotions, and the relationships, so it’s better to check the plot beforehand to make sure it matches your taste.
As per imdb:
When Anna, an ambitious young American woman, sets out for Oxford University to fulfill a childhood dream, she has her life completely on track until she meets a charming and clever local who profoundly alters both of their lives.
I enjoyed watching it. The romance is at the heart of the film, and while you should be aware of the emotional side of the story, it adds depth and meaning to the whole experience.
For imdb, the rating is 5.9/10 and I may put almost 6.2 (not any more) - but for me that was enough for an entertaining evening.
I also enjoyed watching the landscapes, architecture and listening to British accent :)
Overall, My Oxford Year is a lovely, warm, and visually beautiful film. If you’re in the mood for something romantic with touches of humor and you’d like to get a cinematic glimpse of Oxford, then this movie is definitely worth your time.

There may be some elements that may make you feel a certain sadness, so if you are not in the mood for a sentimental movie, better leave it for another time :)
