Trailer
Why watch this film?
After We Fell, following their tumultuous relationship in the second movie, the couple Hardin (Hero Fiennes Tiffin) and Tessa (Josephine Langford) seem to finally face the reality of life in the third chapter of the franchise, 'After We Fell'. Directed by Castille Landon ('Fear of Rain'), the feature film spends 99 minutes showing the ups and downs of this couple, based on a successful novel by author Anna Todd. They drift apart, get hurt, and then come back together. When they fall in love again, something else comes up to separate them once more. And so on. The only thing that changes is what keeps them apart and brings them together: flirting with the waiter, an unexpected friend, getting drunk, etc., etc. There's no real complication in this situation, nor anything that really moves the story forward. There is even a certain beauty hidden in this void, which speaks a lot about modern relationships today: fleeting love, hidden relationships, and so on. But obviously, the director can't turn this material into something interesting. After all, more than a bad story, she has a problem that breaks any possibility: one of the worst actors of her generation on screen. Even though Langford does well in the scenes, Hero Fiennes Tiffin remains a complete disaster - even more so in this movie, which has no story and demands more from the actors on screen. Some moments are embarrassing. In the end, 'After We Fell' may be the least bad of the three movies released so far. Maybe because it has less story and less room for error. But in the end, there's still that question: why? Why another movie, why invest in this story that simply can't find room to grow and go beyond? It might be time to say goodbye. But there are more movies coming for the delight of fans who, without a doubt, have had fun with the story of this teenage couple again.

Fear of Rain
Movie with a domestic thriller vibe, reminiscent of 'The Woman in the Window' and 'The Girl on the Train', the feature film 'Fear of Rain' tells the story of a girl living with schizophrenia who struggles with terrible hallucinations when she begins to suspect her neighbor has kidnapped a child. The only person who believes her is Caleb - a boy she doesn't even know exists. Despite being a disservice to what schizophrenia really is, 'Fear of Rain' has a good pace and, above all, good suspense. The highlight is Katherine Heigl as the protagonist, in one of the best roles of her career after beloved titles from the public such as 'Knocked Up' and 'Grey's Anatomy'.
After Ever Happy
Fourth movie in the teenage erotic romance franchise, 'After Ever Happy' repeats the same atmosphere, story and performances of the other chapters of this saga in theaters. The actors have limitations, the story goes in circles and there is almost no substance in the journey of Hardin (Hero Fiennes Tiffin) and Tessa (Josephine Langford), who must reclaim their relationship after traumatic events from each of their families. However, it is what it is: if you have reached the fourth chapter of 'After', you will already be very used to this style of telling stories and you won't care about the movie's problems.

Romance
Tonight You're Sleeping with Me
This is a Polish romantic drama exclusive to Netflix that with touches of eroticism addresses themes such as the deterioration of marriage and infidelity. The plot of Tonight You're Sleeping with Me follows a journalist trapped in a marriage that has lost its passion with a distant but affectionate husband. On the other hand, there is a younger ex-boyfriend who returns to her life and awakens in her the desire she thought was lost. There are no too surprising twists or too scandalous images: if you want something romantic but predictable, this is a good option.
Love at First Kiss
Impossible relationships and love triangles are basic ingredients of romantic comedies, as are those clichés that "a kiss can tell you everything about a person." Love at First Kiss (Eres tú) is a Spanish production that takes this last idea to a curious extreme: Javier (Álvaro Cervantes) has the power of clairvoyance, since with a kiss he can see the entire future of a relationship. This has led him to end all of his relationships quickly, but everything changes when he kisses Lucía (Silvia Alonso), with whom he sees a happy future... But the problem is that she is his best friend's (Gorka Otxoa) girlfriend. The entanglements and dramas follow a predictable course for any fan of the romantic comedy genre, but those who seek that repetition of the formula to spend a quiet and entertaining time, will enjoy it.
A Sunday Affair
Two best friends, Uche and Toyin, fall in love with Sunday, a charming, yet flawed eligible bachelor. A love triangle ensues with the women unaware that they are dating the same man.
At Midnight
Two people who do their best not to fall in love. It's centered on Alejandro, who lives a predictable life according to plan, and Sophie, a beautiful rising movie star with an unreliable celebrity boyfriend. During a visit to Mexico's beach to shoot scenes for her new movie, Super Society, Sophie falls in love with the hotel manager. Neither of them will be able to avoid falling in love and going against all odds.
