Trailer
Why watch this film?
Continuation of the 2019 feature film, also an adaptation of the book written by Anna Todd. 'After We Collided' follows the protagonist trying to forget the tumultuous relationship she experienced in the first movie. This new plot follows the same problematic line as the previous one and ends up being a reflection of society when it addresses how women end up tolerating toxic relationships because they think that is what love is. The production has a solid cast, captivating soundtrack for the teenage audience, but unfortunately the plot is complicated and can be harmful to young people. It is delicate to analyze a movie in 2021 and identify what we can call the romanticization of an abusive relationship. Maybe this type of narrative should be watched with an alert of what we should avoid in interpersonal relationships.

Falling Inn Love
Is love cheesy? Often, yes. And that is exactly the case with 'Falling Inn Love', an original Netflix production starring Christina Milian (from 'Snow Globe') and Adam Demos. The story may be repetitive, with that feeling of having seen this movie before, but that's exactly what you expect from one of these romantic comedies, right? Recommended for couples to watch.
Beautiful Disaster
Straight up: Beautiful Disaster is another teen version of Fifty Shades of Grey, a story that triumphed both in cinemas and bookstores. It's like the saga After, another successful franchise that jumped from the page to the screen, involving teenagers experiencing tension and attraction. This film, which is also an adaptation of a book, doesn't try to reinvent the wheel and follows the same narrative style: teenagers Abby (Virginia Gardner) and Travis (Dylan Sprouse) struggle with the day-to-day challenges of university life in Sacramento, USA. All the symbols, signs, and messages of this type of story are present, aiming to cause excitement among teenagers (the target audience for this kind of story), since they see Sprouse mostly half-naked on screen. Interestingly, perhaps out of learning, the movie is considerably better than After: it doesn't take itself too seriously all the time, eliciting moments of humor and having Sprouse and Gardner delivering great performances.
Romance
The Red Sea Makes Me Wanna Cry
'The Red Sea Makes Me Wanna Cry' - A haunted woman named Ida journeys from Germany to Jordan, to an eerie and deserted port town on the Red Sea where her partner, Ismail, recently disappeared. Wandering through desolate bars, hotels, and offices, Ida attempts to feel Ismail’s presence one last time and to say goodbye.
13 Going On 30
Jennifer Garner (Daredevil, TV's "Alias") and Mark Ruffalo (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) star in this hilarious flash-forward romance about a pre-teen girl who goes from geek to glamorous. With the help of some magic wishing dust, 13 year-old Jenna Rink (Garner) becomes 30 and gorgeous overnight, with everything she ever wanted, except for her best friend Matt (Ruffalo). Now, this grown woman must create some magic of her own to help the little girl inside find the true love she left behind.
Licença para Enlouquecer
When the lives of friends Sara, Lia and Leia turn into chaos of planetary proportions, they have to share a tiny apartment in São Paulo and almost go crazy. Who never? But the three are enough. They become accomplices to fulfill an indecent and irrefutable proposal: crossing the country to “animate” a secret party on the paradisiacal beach of Maragogi, in Alagoas. An absurdly unexpected adventure, with twists, passions, the strength of friendship and a surprise that will transform their destinies.
How to Date Billy Walsh
There's a reason why, despite being so repetitive, teen romantic comedies like Clueless work so well: we've all been there, somehow. The plot of How to Date Billy Walsh is set in Britain, but follows the same formula as many other similar proposals from the United States: a guy, Archie, has been friends with Amelia since childhood, but secretly loves her. However, when he finally gathers the courage to confess, she falls for Billie Walsh, a handsome and athletic exchange student. The story is predictable and, except for a Netflix Sex Education-like layer of paint, there's not much new. However, it's a good contender for a Gen Z classic.
