Production The film was shot in various places across Europe over a three-and-a-half year period, with post-production being completed in Berlin.
Reception The film received mixed reviews from critics, with The Dissolve describing it as a "charming romantic comedy/drama" with a "smart script" and praising the lead performances; The Hollywood Reporter meanwhile felt that it was "all too familiar in its plethora of indie rom-com conventions", adding: "It's a marvelous travelogue: you'll immediately want to book tickets to Montenegro and Berlin [after] seeing it. But little else will linger in your memory". Similarly, the Los Angeles Times found it "scenic" and parts of the narrative to be "compelling", but summarised it as an "indulgent selfie of a big-screen romance".
