I absolutely this movie . One can only dream of finding this degree of love and commitment in a relationship..❤
I love this series I cried I’m watching episode 8
This is a beautiful love story 🥰 I literally just finished watching episode eight
I have watched From Scratch twice and want to watch it again, but life dictates I go back to my real world. I find myself relating to the family, loving the love in the story, and mourning the loss. Thank you for sharing your story!!! ❤
Tembi is phenomenal and so strong .
This was her life that ended in a humongous loss, I can’t ever get over that .
Ooooooh my😲I finished watching all the episodes today. FROM SCRATCH is one hell of a series!! I recommend everyone to watch it. Simply awesome👏👏👏👏
Glad you enjoy it!
The series was beautiful, gorgeous, funny and painful!
Beautiful love story. Love, tears, wine and family.
I have watched the series 3x. Each time I notice something new. I loved it!
Good! Now I won't feel guilty about doing the same, LOL!
This series is a 3 to 5 tissue job but the look on the actor face who played the husband when his illness came back is just heartbreak brilliant
I watched the series and stupidly went to Internet Movie Data Base to read the "errbody's a critic" section. Idiots were kvetching about how Zoe Saldana did not look like a college student. Seriously? Ya'll missing the point!!
Considering all the movies I've seen all my life where there this person or that person "doesn't look" like some image in a movie goer's head...I had to shrug my shoulders.
None of that negativity diminished my enjoyment of seeing BLACK people portrayed on screen being yes....human. I loved what was said about the story's expansion from erotic love into agape love. The story went from a charming "boy meets girl" formulaic sort of thing to including married, divorced, gay, adoptees, soccer, food, art, kids in Watts, and Sicilian in-laws into the story. I think the only thing missing was a golden retriever, LOL!
That expansive love spoke powerfully to me.
The songs from Andra Bocelli and his son Matteo Bocelli...wow. At first I thought it was odd to have his song "Time to Say Goodbye" (its English title) in the movie. But gradually, it made sense, I knew that this was a story of a much-loved man who died before his time.
Even in a wedding, a couple is saying goodbye to one form of themselves in order to welcome another form.
I want to watch the series again, buy the book, find the soundtrack, and hope to find my own copy of the series on DVD so I can watch it repeatedly. Grazie tante!
Can’t believe how the tears are flowing ! A true Love story❤
Brilliant!
Omg, so good, so sad 😔 An amazing love story.
Love this and now knowing it’s inspired by a true story ❤❤❤ watched it on a flight and thank GOD epi 8 was during the night portion of the flight cause I was in tears on the ppl flight. ❤
