Beauty and the Beast (1991) 95% EDIT “Where Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, and Ariel all have a certain level of young adult naiveté to them, Belle is the first Disney heroine who feels like a grown woman.” – Girl Culture (Substack) May 7, 2026 Full Review The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) 78% B- EDIT “For all its icy barbs and timely themes, The Devil Wears Prada 2 ultimately serves up a pretty big slice of angel food cake, which is nice while you’re watching but doesn’t leave much to chew on the way the first film did.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Apr 29, 2026 Full Review The Princess Diaries (2001) 49% EDIT “What makes The Princess Diaries sparkle is that it realizes tween girls want to watch movies made with love and care just like everybody else.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Apr 27, 2026 Full Review Mother Mary (2026) 72% B+ EDIT “For those who can get on its ethereal wavelength, Mother Mary is an incredibly moving evocation of the horrors and joys of finding a true artistic soulmate.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Apex (2026) 67% C EDIT “A survival thriller that starts solidly enough before gleefully careening of a cliff thanks in no small part to an absolutely wackadoo performance from Taron Egerton.” – AV Club Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Roommates (2026) 65% B- EDIT “[While the] framing device is purposefully heighted, Sandler and East are fantastic at bringing a level of emotional realism to Devon and Celeste’s complicated bond, which is two parts Girls, one part Single White Female. ” – AV Club Apr 17, 2026 Full Review You, Me & Tuscany (2026) 66% B- EDIT “While You, Me & Tuscany is far from a modern rom-com classic, as a sweet Italian comedy about found family, it sparkles.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Apr 9, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 76% C- EDIT “The Drama aims to provoke, but ends up as another entry in the male auteur "would you still love me if I were a worm?" cinematic canon.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Apr 2, 2026 Full Review Shakespeare in Love (1998) 92% EDIT “It’s a shared passion for the creative process that actively fuels Will and Viola’s romance. The play is good because they’re falling in love, but they’re also falling in love because the play is so good.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Reminders of Him (2026) 56% B- EDIT “Romance may be the thing that gets audiences in the door, but it’s the questions of motherhood and morality that will linger.” – AV Club Mar 11, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% C+ EDIT “Though The Bride! is frequently messy and sometimes kind of baffling, it’s never boring. If it’s a failure, it’s an interesting one, which is perhaps better than being a staid success.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Mar 7, 2026 Full Review War Machine (2026) 68% B- EDIT “Forget the gritty realism and quippy one-liners that so often define the modern action genre, War Machine is proudly, almost guilelessly old-fashioned. ” – AV Club Mar 6, 2026 Full Review The Bluff (2026) 55% C+ EDIT “The Bluff is a rollicking good time despite the fact (or maybe because of the fact) that the line between thrilling and ridiculous has never felt more razor thin than it does here.” – AV Club Feb 25, 2026 Full Review The Cutting Edge (1992) 59% EDIT “For all its corny, cheesy touches, The Cutting Edge is actually way more than just a passable rom-com—it’s a real gem with one of the most unique female protagonists in the genre.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Feb 16, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 57% B- EDIT “As with a lot of Fennell’s work, "Wuthering Heights" will play best for those willing to forget the films they’ve seen that have done this kind of thing better and give themselves over to the feeling of a first transgressive teenage obsession.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Solo Mio (2026) 82% B- EDIT “Who knew Paul Blart had it in him? ” – AV Club Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Relationship Goals (2026) 24% C EDIT “As a bit of forgettable, low-stakes Valentine’s Day viewing for the religious set, one could do worse. But those who only date their rom-coms "intentionally" could definitely do better.” – AV Club Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Sabrina (1954) 89% EDIT “To quote Nicole Kidman, I come to rom-coms to laugh, to cry, to care. Sabrina, however, feels a little bit like a movie that exists in a snow globe. It’s beautifully crafted and mesmerizing to look at. Yet I always feel like I’m slightly outside of it.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Jan 23, 2026 Full Review People We Meet on Vacation (2026) 76% C- EDIT “While recent winners like All Of You have proven there’s still juice in the classic friends-to-lovers template, watching People We Meet On Vacation feels more like ordering a sparkling tropical cocktail and getting served tap water. ” – AV Club Jan 15, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 86% A- EDIT “The frenzied, lustful energy of the film’s first half makes it one of the most thrilling cinematic experiences of the year.” – AV Club Dec 27, 2025 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 77% B EDIT “Song Sung Blue doesn’t make the case that Mike and Claire are great artists, or even that Diamond himself is. But it does make the case that art doesn’t have to be great to make an impact. ” – AV Club Dec 27, 2025 Full Review Last Christmas (2019) 47% EDIT “Last Christmas [is] about 75 percent of the way towards being a great movie. And while that’s not the worst crime in the world, it is the sentiment that’s left the rom-com genre struggling to thrive outside of streaming since the pandemic.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011) 80% EDIT “[Crazy, Stupid, Love] somehow manages to capture everything that’s great about and wrong with the romantic comedy genre in just 118 minutes.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Ella McCay (2025) 23% C- EDIT “It all adds up to a movie that isn’t screwy enough to be a screwball comedy nor deep enough to be a dramedy. Ella McCay sees a bunch of people who have seemingly never met a human before attempting to celebrate the human spirit. ” – AV Club Dec 12, 2025 Full Review The Little Mermaid (1989) 92% EDIT “Over the past three and a half decades Disney has continued to iterate on what its princesses long for and how they go about getting it. But Ariel laid the groundwork they’re all still following today.” – Girl Culture (Substack) Dec 1, 2025 Full Review
