The Lost Husband is the kind of film that has "heartwarming" plastered across the promotional materials from script stage. But any actual feeling here is protected by a "keep out" sign.

An old-fashioned but charming movie that affirms that maybe romantic dramas aren't dead after all.

Fish-out-of-water story, grief drama, opposites-attract rom-com, family-secrets saga and ode to country living - there are plenty of facets to The Lost Husband, and none of them feels particularly fresh or urgent.

I went trope fishing with The Lost Husband and caught a quietly charming one.
