Text for You

Text for You (SMS für Dich, 2016) is a German romantic comedy-drama you can watch online in good quality. It marks the directing debut of actress Karoline Herfurth, who also takes the lead.

Two years on, Clara still hasn't let go of the boyfriend she lost. To cope, she keeps texting his old number with tender little messages she believes vanish into nowhere. The thing is, that number now belongs to sports writer Mark. The mysterious texts first puzzle him, then quietly get under his skin, and with his buddy David he sets out to find whoever is sending them. Once he actually meets Clara, he's caught between honesty and a feeling he didn't plan on.

Adapted from Sofie Cramer's novel, the cast rounds out with Friedrich Mücke, Frederick Lau and Katja Riemann. It's exactly as predictable and soft-hearted as a cozy night-in romance is supposed to be: unpretentious, anchored by Herfurth's easy charm. A solid pick when you want a film that earns a few tears and a few smiles in the same sitting. Stream Text for You (2016) online on iFILM.
