Cast & crew
I really enjoyed Surprised by Oxford. It’s a sweet and thoughtful movie with a good mix of romance, faith, and personal growth. I liked how the story showed the main character questioning what she believes and learning more about herself along the way.
The young woman goes to school at Oxford and starts to think about God, and she also falls in love. The place looks so beautiful and the main actress is nice. But it's slow, there's too much talking and I don't really enjoy movies with a lot of talking, and you can guess the love story early. It felt like reading a quiet book.
Today, I was looking for a good movie to watch on The Movie Knight website. I came across a movie called Surprised Oxford movie . I found it truly inspiring, insightful and emotional. The story is about a new friendship that opens Caro Drake up to mystery, vulnerability, and love. I liked the story because it gave good lessons and laughter. This is exactly the kind of movie I enjoy watching. I need to be honest, this movie truly helped me reconnect with God and inspired me to become a better reader. even though it is not a religious movie.
