Champagne, France, early 19th century. Having lost her husband, Madame Clicquot decides to continue his life’s work – taking care of the vineyard and creating the best champagne in the world.

Madame Clicquot is a motivational film about a woman who knows what she wants. The picture is full of delicious details from the winemaking world: vines, cellars, bottles, elegant glasses, and, of course, the wine itself. This picture is pleasing to the eye. 

Challengers, 2024

Junior tennis players Patrick Zweig and Art Donaldson live and breathe sports. They compete with each other and plan to build a career on the court. But, in addition to their sporting ambitions, both are fascinated by the young and successful tennis player Tasha. The girl quickly reciprocates the young athletes’ feelings. In the cozy atmosphere of a hotel room, they immediately indulge in passionate desires, sharing their innermost thoughts and feelings. But this fleeting pleasure promises an unpredictable future – a serious psychological duel will flare up for Tasha’s heart and the championship title.

Luca Gaudagnino plunges the characters into dysfunctional relationships through the prism of tennis. It is a sexy sports drama starring the brilliant Zendaya, who probably gives the best performance of her career to date.

Touch, 2024

Christopher travels between Iceland, England, and Japan in search of answers from the past. An elderly widower from Iceland is diagnosed with the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease. The doctor advises him to settle all his unresolved affairs before his memory fades. It prompts Christopher to confront the one question that still remains unresolved: his first love, Miko.

Touch is a heartful story of lost love and hope found. It is not an entertaining, dynamic film, but it is very charming.

Anora, 2024

In Sean Baker’s new melodrama, a love story unfolds against a clash of cultures and class differences. The story follows Anora, a stripper from Brooklyn, who captures the heart of Vanya, the son of a wealthy Russian oligarch. But things get complicated when Vanya’s dad disapproves of their romance and sends one of his goons to tear them apart.

I became interested in this film not only because I am Russian but also because this drama received the Palme d’Or at Cannes. Sean Baker made a truly social drama, clearly depicting different layers of society. The rich will continue to use the poor for their needs; money rules the world, and immigrants will still perform dubious jobs.

The Nature of Love, 2024

Sophia easily quotes Plato and Schopenhauer. For Sylvain, repairing roofs is easier than talking about feelings. She drinks fine wine, and he is a regular at the brasserie. She teaches love theory, but he is more interested in conspiracy theories. These two have so little in common that they might end up hating each other or falling in love.

Cheating is a sensitive topic, but it is often presented in a simplified way in movies. Directors love to punish heroes by showing that their new partners are villains and their abandoned ones are perfect. It is convenient for creating a simple, fair story, albeit not always realistic. But in this melodrama, everything is much more complicated than in real life.

The movie is in French and has English subtitles, but don’t worry—it’s not that hard to understand.

Sometimes I Think About Dying, 2024

Sometimes I Think About Dying is a measured melodrama. Fran is an office worker who lives a dull life in a small coastal town in Oregon. Her days pass in endless monotony: work, loneliness at home, and rather unusual fantasies about her death. The everyday monotony is broken by a new employee, Robert, in whom the heroine becomes interested.

The movie is perfect for those ready to immerse themselves in an hour-and-a-half drama about the life of an introvert with unusual fantasies. It is a story about overcoming loneliness and how important it is to be part of society—to build a life in your head and the real world.

Fly Me to the Moon, 2024

Back in the 1960s, during the Space Race, when the U.S. and the Soviet Union fiercely competed for space exploration, marketing genius Kelly Jones was tasked with creating a polished image for the historic Apollo 11 mission. The risk of failure of the real moon landing forced the marketing team to develop Plan B—to film fake footage that would convince the world of the success of the American expedition, even if the astronauts could not set foot on the lunar surface.

It is a light, romantic comedy with little drama, a stylish picture, and cozy sixties humor. It will be interesting to watch for those familiar with the main moments of the history of the American landing on the Moon, as well as the conspiracy theories surrounding it.

The Idea of You, 2024

40-year-old gallery owner Solène reluctantly heads to the Coachella music festival to accompany her teenage daughter Izzy and her gang.  Solène unexpectedly finds herself embroiled in a relationship with a young musician but is self-conscious about her age and wonders how serious a relationship with a star can be.

Both the book and the movie discuss ageism, which prevents women over 30 from feeling free. The story highlights the double standards that reign in society: Solen is attacked for his choices, while the 20-year-old musician who inspired the hero is declared the innocent victim of a “boy hunter.”

I think it’s one of my top picks for feel-good, stylish romance movies of 2024.

It Ends With Us, 2024

Lily Bloom grew up in adverse circumstances – her father often hit her, and the girl swore that she would never allow herself to be treated like that again. She ran to Boston to build a new life and try herself in business. One day, Ryle Kincaid, a successful and charming neurosurgeon, appears on Lily’s path. She quickly falls in love, but as the relationship develops, she begins to suffer from his irascibility and jealousy. Lily tries her best not to repeat the scenario of her childhood, but all her efforts are in vain.

It is a great movie if not for one thing: the entire socially acute agenda gets bogged down in a classic rom-com triangle, played out in pastel colors: an attractive woman and two handsome men. 

This movie gets a thumbs-up for its unique take on a common problem. I think many women might have seen themselves in the lead and pondered over it.

Música, 2024

Rudy Mancuso, a charismatic young street performer, has a unique perspective on the world. He perceives everyday sounds—from car horns to dripping water to slamming doors—as a series of complex rhythms. Rudy tries to keep the music in his head, but it’s not easy.

Rudy’s gift allows the creators to turn the film into a musical without songs. From the first frames, Música captivates with its technical component: the noise of saucepans can enchant with the same force as birds chirping. Rudy Mancuso’s brainchild has a worthy ending much more realistic than a good half of melodramas.

Upgrade, 2024

An ambitious auction house intern, Anya, unexpectedly gets an upgrade to first class when she flies to London on a business trip. After appreciating the comfort and meeting the handsome and rich William, the girl decides to live in a fantasy world a little longer than she should.

The film released on Amazon Prime interested me with its simple plot—simplicity is sometimes enough. And I was not disappointed. It’s a good film with nice actors about life and career. 

Irish Wish, 2024

Recently, a new romantic comedy starring Lindsay Lohan was released on Netflix. The plot centers on literary editor Maddie, who is in love with an Irish writer named Paul, with whom she is working on a book. She is afraid to confess to him but believes that Paul has reciprocal feelings. But instead of declaring love to a colleague. Paul proposes to his friend Maddie.

The director makes the audience hold their breath, illustrating amazing landscapes on the screen. The picture consists of green shades: furniture, clothes, bus seats – everything down to the smallest detail screams that the characters are in Ireland. Cliffs, lakes, fields – the local landscape is the main trump card that the creators have up their sleeve.

A Family Affair, 2024

Zara, who works as a personal assistant to self-centered Hollywood star Chris Cole, discovers that her boss is secretly having an affair with her widowed mother.

Family Affair is not so much a comedy as a light family summer romantic drama suitable for one evening. Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron’s participation in this film caught my attention. 

I know many who did not like this film and many who loved it. Which category do you belong to?

We Live in Time, 2024

The goal-oriented Almut has always dreamed of being a chef, and the romantic Tobias is still reeling from his recent divorce.

Without losing hope, the couple realizes the value of every moment and decides to live so that no minute is wasted.

It is one of the must-see new romance movies 2024 if you’re hungry for uplifting stories. Keep your tissues handy; this is going to be heartfelt and touching!

The life of young actress Laura Franco collapses overnight: the girl breaks up with her young man Jacob. In addition, she is diagnosed with breast cancer. At this time, the heroine finds a scary but incredibly charming Monster in her closet. At this moment, a fantastic romantic story begins, which will help the artist regains her voice.

It is a modern beauty and beast story—very bright, festive, kind, and touching. I enjoyed this movie so much.

This film follows a young couple embarking on a European summer adventure, creating a documentary exploring how different people view love. They soon realize that they’re actually filming their own love story. Tragedy will strike, and their film will ultimately save Christian’s life. 

A tragic accident forces their parents to reconsider their views on marriage and sort out their relationships. It is a pleasant and beautiful film and a new role for Sharon Stone.

Lily Reese and her mother go to Scotland, where the girl meets her childhood friend Logan Campbell. Meanwhile, their mothers devise a plan to bring the young people together.

It is a Hallmark heartfelt movie, and you can be sure it has a clean plot and kind message. It is a must-watch movie for Hallmark fans.

Archie has had a crush on his best friend, Amelia, since they were kids, but he’s always been too shy to confess his feelings to her. When he finally decides to confess his feelings, a new student appears at school, who came from America, with whom everyone, including Amelia, falls in love.

This movie is for a young audience or anyone who loves juicy, bright rom-coms. The landscapes, costumes, and sunny vibe will enchant you.

Minnie and Quinn were born on the same day in the same London hospital. Their lives turned out completely differently, but years later, fate brings them together again.

It is another fascinating movie that I recently watched. The actors portraying Minnie and Quinn make a fantastic on-screen duo, and you can really feel their chemistry. The film drives home the idea that fate is something you can’t run away from.

Oh, this is the sweetest melodrama of 2024.

After the death of his beloved, Dawson goes in search of her twin sister (they were separated during the IVF procedure). Soon after the young man finally finds Andy, an affair begins between them.

When I started to watch Someone Like You, I expected drama and lyricism, but I got two hours of the sweetest story like I ate two pounds of sugar. In this film, everyone was always smiling and glowing with happiness. Although I am sure that the ratings for this movie will be opposed, romantic people will like this unusual story.

A love for Jane Austen’s stories helps two people overcome their pride and confess their love.

Actually, this is the premise of this sweet, kind, and even slightly funny melodrama. Although you already understand the plot and love story from the beginning, it’s still interesting to watch.

1980s. Lou runs a gym in the godforsaken American wilderness. She hasn’t spoken to her father, a local crime boss, for years and worries about her sister, whose husband is aggressive.  One day, the girl falls in love at first sight with bodybuilder Jackie, who stopped in their town for a short time on her way to a championship in Vegas. The feelings are mutual, and the girls start living together, but when Lou’s son-in-law once again crosses all boundaries, this sets off a chain of unpredictable events.

Visually, this is a very beautiful film. Especially when the characters’ faces turn crimson red, emphasizing the internal aggression and bloodiness of the story. Kristen Stewart pleasantly surprised me once again.

It is a sincere fairy tale of an adult woman of amazing beauty. Ben Affleck’s appearance at the beginning and the end mixes fantastic scenery with the real life of a real couple. Although life has made adjustments to this story

The film has very beautiful post-production and computer graphics. It is full of self-irony, fleeting jokes about psychologists and horoscopes, and, of course, her songs. It turns out to be not a typical beautiful musical.

Hit Man, 2023

New Orleans. Gary Johnson is a lonely university professor of philosophy and psychology who lives an ordinary, boring life with two cats. At the same time, he also works as an undercover agent in the police, playing a killer for those who order murders. On a new assignment, fate brings Gary together with the charming Madison, who wants to kill her hated husband.

Hit Man is an explosion of laughter, drama, and detective intertwined in an ideal comedy cocktail. The film demonstrates that even the most ordinary person, if properly motivated, can become anyone! I recommend watching it to anyone who wants to see a psychologist who picked up a gun but did not stop loving and dreaming.

I like Glen Powell, and he is excellent in this movie! A must-watch rom-com!
