The Book of Love is a heartwarming drama film that revolves around two people who are brought together after a tragedy. The movie, which is also known as The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, was directed by Bill Purple and stars Jason Sudeikis, Maisie Williams, and Jessica Biel. The story follows Henry (Sudeikis), an introverted architect who loses his pregnant wife, Penny (Biel), in a tragic accident. Consumed by grief and guilt, Henry tries to cope with his loss by building a raft to explore the Atlantic. Along the way, he meets Millie (Williams), a tough and street-smart teenager who is also dealing with her own loss. Together, they form an unlikely friendship and embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery.

Millie is a young girl who has recently lost her mother to cancer. She is homeless and roams the streets, sleeping in abandoned buildings and stealing food to survive. After she steals some tools from Henry's construction site, he catches her and offers her a job helping him build his raft. Millie may be young, but she has a lot of life experience and is much wiser than her years suggest. She is also incredibly intelligent and talented, with a knack for engineering and problem-solving.

Henry, on the other hand, is a reserved and methodical man who is struggling to come to terms with his loss. He is haunted by memories of his wife and feels responsible for her death. Building the raft is a way for him to escape his pain and find some peace. As he spends more time with Millie, he begins to open up to her and to see the world in a different way.

The film is told in flashbacks, with Henry reflecting on his life with Penny as he builds the raft. We see their relationship unfold, from their first meeting to their marriage, and we witness their love and devotion to each other. We also see how much Penny meant to everyone around her, including Millie, who she befriended before her death.

As Henry and Millie work on the raft, they encounter various challenges and setbacks, including bad weather and a lack of materials. However, they are determined to see the project through and to prove to themselves that they are capable of accomplishing something great. In the process, they develop a deep bond and share their emotions and fears with each other, helping each other to heal and to move on.

The Book of Love is a beautifully crafted movie that explores themes of grief, loss, and healing. The performances by the cast are excellent, especially Maisie Williams, who delivers a powerful and nuanced performance as Millie. The film is also visually stunning, with breathtaking shots of the ocean and the sky. The soundtrack, featuring music by Justin Timberlake, also adds to the film's emotional impact.

Overall, The Book of Love is a touching and poignant film that will leave you feeling uplifted and inspired. The message of the film is that even in the face of tragedy, there is hope and love, and that by reaching out to others, we can find the strength to overcome our pain and to create something beautiful.

The Book of Love is a 2017 drama with a runtime of 1 hour and 47 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.0 and a MetaScore of 27.
