Read my spoiler-free movie review of Newness (2017).
Starring Nicholas Hoult and Laia Costa, Newness is the Drake Doremus-directed drama/romance about two millennials navigating a relationship affected by the challenges that come with today’s social media-driven hookup culture.
As I watched this trailer, the last Doremus movie I saw and liked came to mind. Namely, Like Crazy (2011), which stars Anton Yelchin and Felicity Jones.
I found myself thinking, didn’t Doremus already explore this ‘young love’ theme in Like Crazy? However, as I watched some more, I eventually noticed what’s different. This time, he’s exploring open relationships, not long-distance relationships. As such, I am slightly intrigued. I just don’t yet know if I’m curious enough to take the chance and watch. The amount revealed in this trailer certainly doesn’t help matters.
Happy Film Loving
