Hasty ending, extra points for actors

The heroine of the movie is my favorite Rachel McAdams, and the hero is equally tall and handsome. At the beginning of the movie, the two fell in love with each other deeply, but they were involved in a car accident. The ending is known soon after the opening, and it is another touching story of regaining memories. The routine is very conventional, but the atmosphere created by the handsome men and beautiful women and the background music of the movie attracts me to continue watching.
The male protagonist Leo is an artist who runs a studio with no money and no status. The heroine Paige was born into a wealthy family and had high hopes to study in law school. But Paige gradually discovered that he liked art, and that his father was messing with his friends, so he left home and went to rent a house in the city by himself. At this time, I met Leo, and the two fell in love at first sight. Soon they got married and made a promise to love each other for a lifetime.
After Paige lost her memory, Leo tried her best to restore her memory, but to no avail. Paige's parents also interfered, not wanting to let Paige, who has returned to the family, repeat the same mistakes. Repeated failures and embarrassment made Leo lose his confidence. Finally Paige filed for divorce. The whole play reached the point of tears.
The plot after that was a little rushed. Paige accidentally heard from a friend about the reason why she left home, and rediscovered her love for art. She leaves home again. Six months later, he met Leo in a coffee shop they first met, and took the initiative to ask Leo.
The second half of the film is obviously not strong enough, and the heroine's transformation is too hasty. The emotional foreshadowing has not been achieved, and great changes will occur, lacking a gradual process. Overall, this show has good actors, good music, and good cinematography, but it lacks a good screenwriter.
