Newness

CriticsCritics: 61
AudienceAudience: 6.1

In contemporary Los Angeles, two young adults meet through a dating app and begin a relationship shaped by desire, boredom, jealousy, and changing expectations. As they test emotional and physical boundaries, they confront difficult questions about honesty, commitment, and what it takes to make a modern relationship last.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like frank, emotionally complicated relationship dramas with contemporary themes; Not for you if you prefer conventional romance, sympathetic characters, or a faster-moving story.
