To All the Boys I've Loved Before
Film Title: To All the Boys I've Loved Before Director: Susan Johnson Writer: Sofia Alvarez Starring: Lana Condor, Noah Centineo Production Company: Awesomeness Films, Overbrook Entertainment, Netflix Release Date: August 17th 2018 (UK) Opening to a round of positive criticism, the adaptation of Jenny Han's YA contemporary romance novel has drawn even those uninterested in the rom-com genre to pull open Netflix and have a watch. When high school student Lara Jean's private love letters to her childhood crushes get mysteriously sent out she ends up starting a charade to convince one of the aforementioned crushes that she isn't, in fact, crushing on him - a charade that of course doesn't stay as fake as first intended. A somewhat tried and tested idea, director Susan Johnson takes the author's original spin of where it goes from there with enthusiasm and charisma. This is a teenage rom-com where you aren't left rolling your eye
