The New Romantic (2018)

Excellent portrayal of dating as a millennial

[9/10 · 24 January 2019]

Not only is the writing and acting strong in this movie, it's an excellent portrayal and social commentary about dating as a millennial (or gen Z). Whie those who are expecting a cheesy rom com will be disappointed, it's a very clever movie. Are relationships based on love or survival? Have women become a commodity in the tinder era? Are we judged by everyone all day, in person, and on social media? The ending veered a bit too close to a silly rom com but over-all its excellent. I am shocked the ratings aren't higher
