5 Films to Watch and Cry About Love

Directed by Joachim Trier - Starring Renate Reinsve

The Worst Person in the World (2021)

When I first finished this movie, I felt as though there was so much to talk about but found no place to begin, hence my Letterboxd review only mentioning how great its soundtrack is—though it is so much more than just that. The Worst Person in the World follows the life of an ever-changing woman named Julie and her struggles in finding her career path and keeping her love life afloat.

This is a film that I wish I could watch for the first time once again and reminisce how my eyes never left my screen. It allows you to feel conflicted and worry about the protagonist's plights and almost leaves you renewed and grown in someway by the end.

Directed by Cooper Raiff - Starring Dakota Johnson

Cha Cha Real Smooth (2022)

This film is one of those that you get into without much expectation and then suddenly, there on your couch or in your bed, you feel a warmness fill your insides and catch yourself attached to its stories and characters. With its natural dialogue and delivery, Cha Cha Real Smooth follows the story of Andrew, a guy who is new to love’s pains.

Director and actor Cooper Raiff manages to let his audience feel as though they had just watched a fracture of someone’s life at some corner of the world, and just so unexpectedly brings them comfort.

Starring Daisy Edgar-Jones & Paul Mescal

Normal People (2020)

Marianne and Connel have to be one of the most humane and genuine relationships I’ve ever seen featured on screen. Normal People is a show that doesn’t over-dramatize or romanticize life and instead features its admittedly “boring” yet raw cycle of love and relationships.

If he silently decides not to say something when they’re talking, Marianne will ask “what?” within one or two seconds. This “what?” question seems to him to contain so much: not just the forensic attentiveness to his silence that allows her to ask in the first place, but a desire for total communication, a sense that anything unsaid is an unwelcome interruption between them.

Page 26 of ‘Normal People’ by Sally Rooney

Normal People is a TV adaptation of the popular novel in the same title by Sally Rooney, and both capture you with sympathy and heartache for both leading characters. This is a story about loving and growing apart and with each other, which has you pondering about life and its still movements in time.

Starring Jung Hae-in & Son Ye-jin

Something in the Rain (2018)

Regular K-drama watchers know how unrealistic and dramatic Korean Television tends to get, and sometimes there’s this craving for something new and real—distinctly apart from the cliches and repetitive tropes of rich-and-poor, love-triangle, and much more. Instead, the show revolves around two unforbidden lovers and beautifully unravels their relationship and its ups and downs with time’s passing.

Something in the Rain directed by Ahn Pan-seok is perfect for the rainy and winter season with its melancholic feel and tolerably slow pace. You’ll find yourself wishing for a love like theirs by the end of this show.

Starring Rachel McAdams & Domhnall Gleeson

About Time (2013)

Although I didn’t shed a tear for this one, About Time is an extremely heartwarming film that leaves you thinking about time and how it should be spent. The film follows Tim, a guy desperate for love and to keep it with him, spending hours of his life manipulating time only to realize that faith’s path to loss can never be blocked.

The part I love most about this film is its head-on approach to supernaturality without having to explain why or how this is possible. For so long I’ve restricted myself from pursuing ideas and plots in fear that I had to give it sense, but this film made me learn that it is only a fictional world after all.
