À contre-sens

My fault is the newest Spanish teen-drama romance that feels like a mixture of Through my Window, Three Steps Above Heaven and Fast and Furious.

Noah is upset with her mother as she has to leave her boyfriend and friends and move in with her mother's new rich husband and his son Nick. Nick is a typical bad boy turns good boy, and their romance is a typical forbidden step-sibling relationship surrounded by gangsters, wannabes and rich kid problems.

The storyline is far from realistic, the dialogue is quite dull, but there is chemistry between the actors and it is entertaining enough. At least it was for me, but it might not be everyone's cup of tea.

Watching this movie felt like I had just randomly grabbed a new release from the romance section and started reading. The opening scenes set up nothing but cliched tropes with what seemed to be stock characters and overdone situations. Except that this story ended up being really entertaining anyway. Noah and Nick act like characters that are written instead of real teens, until they suddenly don't. I actually kind of believed that they had reasons they would end up liking each other. Instead of groaning about how they were just thrown together for the sake of the plot, I ended up caring about their relationship working out. I didn't want anything bad to happen to them, and I wasn't counting the minutes until they were off the screen. Now, the third act climax deflated much of that feeling when we get a standard action movie finale, but once it all wraps up, I was back to wanting to see the couple succeed. I don't think I would even mind a sequel, which they seemed to be planning based on the last lines of the film. I am sure that there will be a lot of people who will watch this movie who won't get caught up in the story like I allowed myself to--some viewers will just focus on the flaws, which would be easy to do. But for anyone just looking for lighter-than-air entertainment, you might have the right mindset for this one.

I watched this because it came up on my Amazon prime as a movie I would like. I thought it was a horror movie and I was watching it in the background as I was messing with my phone. It was not a horror movie, but much to my horror It was a weird teenage erotic thriller. I have to laugh when I write that. This movie had like 15 plots. It was all over the place. It wanted to be fight club and it wanted to be the fast and the furious and then it wanted to be some like family drama. The girl looks like kristen stewart. I feel like I will go to jail for watching this. My favorite quote was "you are my stepsister and you're 17" 😂

As with a lot of romanced based on book adaptations at times the dialogue was cringy and some scenes were entirely unrealistic or moved a bit fast but I thoroughly enjoyed this movie! The two leads have great chemistry together and definitely kept my attention! If you're a fan of After this would be right up your alley. I think the story is a bit tidier than the After franchise is as well... not as much unnecessary back and forth fighting. I was more invested than I was in the After movies as well. I feel if you like this genre it's definitely worth a watch and doesn't deserve the negative reviews it's received.

Okay.. i get when you turn a book into a movie and have to cut stuff out to make it work, but when you completely change key elements of the story, it doesn't work. Major plot points were missed for no reason. Some of the characters were robbed of their character development just because of this script. On the other hand; the sets, the acting, casting, that was all perfect. I think this could've been a good movie, had I not read the book first. You can't change things in the story just because you don't like how the author wrote it. If you don't like the way it's written... go find another movie to write.
