Atteinte de la maladie d'Alzheimer, Allie a tout oublié de sa vie. Chaque jour, Duke vient lui lire le récit de deux jeunes gens qui se sont passionément aimés dans les années 40, avant que l'existence et les conventions ne les séparent. Si elle ne peut plus se souvenir, Allie peut encore ressentir, et la voix de Duke fait ressurgir le passé et une magnifique histoire d'amour. Ces mots, Allie les connaît, elle a parfois l'impression de les avoir déjà lus, de les avoir peut-être écrits... (Metropolitan FilmExport)

I’m in pain. And here I thought I would never taste anything sweeter than Turkish delight dipped in caramel and washed down with a properly sweetened glass of apple cider. The Notebook has an idea that never dies and all people in the world should stick to it, but cinematically it’s such a spineless and stale kitsch that even I, a born romantic, had trouble believing the characters in even the most innocent act of love. I’m giving it a reluctant third star, solely because of Gosling, McAdams and especially Garner, who’s the only one who earned my full trust (only to end up so unbelievable). 50%

Histoire simple mais sans erreur et pas très originale, avec un si grand cœur. Une limonade romantique de dimension galactique qui résiste dignement au sentimentalisme bon marché jusqu'aux dernières 15 minutes. Un rythme lent, une caméra poétique à grand angle, de bons acteurs (surtout Ryan Gosling), un joli motif de piano. Pour ceux qui croient en l'amour qui peut durer toute une vie envers une seule personne. Rien pour les réalistes cyniques.

Once again, I had no clue that this movie existed, even though it features two of my favorite actors – Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling – as a couple. But when it comes to the movie itself, it’s soaking wet with romance. But it’s so nice, pleasant, honest and even a bit dreamy at times that I couldn’t rate it lower than four stars. The way it’s told, the way it pulls the wool from my eyes in the middle of the movie and the way it all flows is just worth a good cry once in a while. And this movie provided just that.

You gotta go with your heart. And my beloved genre of bittersweet romance has offered me its precious gem at a time long before there were references to The Notebook popping up in every other TV show, at time when the audience didn't know what they were in for. HE was an honest, appealing guy from poor circumstances, SHE was a trifle too mischievous yet sincere beauty from rich circumstances. And under extremely unfavorable conditions, a huge love was born. In other words, there are simply screenings that you can never forgotten, so even ten years after I first opened this notebook, I vividly remember how the film affected me. It was not about twists, reveals, or surprises. The power was in the touching scenes, the captivating cinematography, and the passionately attractive main couple. And that's why I will always stand by the fact that for hopeless romantics, this is an absolute must.

If we ignore the two temporal planes and the poorly realized journey with them, we are left with a crystal clear melodrama that can be accepted in its entirety. Bollywood knew why not to let the subject lie fallow. :) This is by far the most enjoyable film based on Sparks.

John Cassavetes has a captivating sense of timing for scenes and sequences of dialogue, absorbing, expressive, mindful, and pleasantly old-fashioned. Perhaps a bit more idealistic and dreamy than life itself, but why not close your eyes and let yourself be carried away on a wave of phenomenal romance that you also want to experience in life.

The performances here are so interesting that you can tolerate even the unnecessary sentimentality of this romance, which doesn't really bring anything groundbreaking. Thanks to the legendary actors appearing in the present-day storyline, you can also tolerate the clear push for emotions. You must shed tears, that's the clear message from the author of the source material, Nicholas Sparks.
