If I Want You hit the spot, these will too
Looking for the series itself? Also in this series: Three Steps Above Heaven (2010)

The same mix in both: stillness, then romance
The difference: Made in the 1990s, in a different era of the craft

Tender where it counts, warm underneath

Two things both keep coming back to: friendship and love

The same two preoccupations: teenage love, and young love
The difference: Trades the warmth of I Want You for an angle of its own

Contemplative drama in both cases


Romance built on romance, twice over

Both are built on the same subject: friendship
The difference: Sits closer to mystery than I Want You does


Romance with a pulse of stillness, in both cases

Both lean on romance more than on drama

Tender romance, and it commits to that
