Romance Movies of 2024
2024 Oscar Romance Films
An overview of the 2024 Oscar Romance films, with a summary of my reviews and a look at the best example from last year.
Elemental (2024.14, Disappointing , Light )
Elemental is top-notch creative world building on top of a mundane story! (3*)
Killers of the Flower Moon (2024.1, Exceptional, Murder )
Killers of the Flower Moon is an exceptional and powerful movie about the Osage Native American murders of the 1920s, but it’s just too long! (4*)
Maestro (2024.2, Powerful , Solid )
Maestro is a well told story of a romance between two individuals over decades and how it developed in the shadow of fame. (4.5*)
Past Lives (2024.7, Simple, Love)
Past LIves tells the story of three characters in a whirlwind of fond memories, painful regrets, and doubts of self-worth. A simple and tightly emotional story, but not one you will long remember (3.5*)
Poor Things (2024.10, Beautiful , Sex )
Poor Things, the story of a baby’s mind in an adult woman’s body, is probably the most bizarre movie I’ve ever seen. It is also one of the best. (5*)
