Our Fault Movie Review: Our Fault is the new romantic drama creating ripples on the internet after the footsteps of passionate teen sagas such as After and Through My Window. Based on Mercedes Ron’s novel Culpa Nuestra, the film elucidates love, rebellion, and the fine line between desire and destruction. With fiery leads and emotionally charged moments, Our Fault goes in depth to explore what happens to two broken souls trying to find comfort in one another but at what cost?
Focusing on the story of Noah and Nick, two young people thrown by complex happenings into one another’s lives. When Noah arrives at her mother’s new home, she unexpectedly finds her soon-to-be stepbrother Nick anything but what she had expected. Their relationship kicks off in tension and defiance but evolves into an attraction far too strong for either to ignore.
The first half features their sizzling attraction and forbidden connection, while the second half displays their emotional woes jealousy, secrets, and misunderstandings that threaten to break them. The narrative tantalizingly oscillates between wondering whether they will fight for love or drown in it, an iron grip on the emotions of the audience until the final payoff.
Analysis: Passion Over Precision
The strongest point of Our Fault is the actors’ magnetic performances and their cinematic sexiness. The pair has a chemistry that is simply there and hence makes every stolen glance and heated argument feel real. It’s polished; the cinematography is very good, and the soundtrack escalates the emotional anguish.
However, there are times when style seems to trump substance. The writing feels shallow at times, and several emotional beats come screeching to a halt. Indeed, it captures the fast-paced turmoil of young love, but it steps into soaring melodrama.
Solid lead performances
Gripping chemistry and visuals
Emotional high-bar romantic tale
Predictable storyline
Over-dramatic sequences
Shallow support characters
Our Fault would be a romance for any dramatic teen romance film lover to go woozy for, a romance that looks brilliant on screen and is heavy on emotional wallops. While it may not reinvent the genre, it certainly provides satisfying enough one-time-watching experience, thanks to endearing passion and intensity.
