8 de feb. de 2023 · Contemporary fiction is fiction set in modern times. So, contemporary romance books are stories with a central romance arc that take place in the same time period they were written. For simplicity’s sake, I’ve included any that take place between the 1990s and the present day.

We couldn’t have a list of romance movies and ignore the teen subgenre. High-school-set romances can feel a bit repetitive and contrived after a while. Jock meets geeky girl, popular girl falls for the nerdy loser – we’ve seen it all before. However, Netflix's (and based on a novel by Jenny Han) To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, puts a different spin on the tired genre, focusing on the protagonist, and her relationship with her family as well as a love interest. Lara Jean Covey (Lana Condor)...

A film that works to draw out the more realistic and somber truths of relationships, Only You follows Elena (Laia Costa) and Jake (Josh O’Connor) who meet one night while fighting over a taxi. As they fall in love, it seems that their relationship presents more challenges each day. Their 9-year age gap is something they can get past, but when they start trying for a baby, the journey of IVF, medication, and disappointment seems too overwhelming. The couple must then face the choice between ea...
Director: Greg Berlanti
The problem with a lot of teen romances is that the heroes are, obviously, teenagers. They are young and they are inexperienced, and it’s sometimes difficult to root for their love stories to have picture-perfect endings because we know their lives will be long, and filled with heartaches and romances for decades to come. Greg Berlanti’s Love, Simondeftly evades these notions, because it’s a coming-of-age story first and foremost, and what counts is how the protagonist grows upon having his f...
Director: John Carney
John Carney is famous the world over for making passionate, character-driven films full of awesome music, like Begin Again andSing Street. But his masterpiece is still this infectiously low-key, lovely romance. Once stars Glen Hansard as a busker in Ireland, working in his father’s vacuum cleaner repair shop when he isn’t singing songs about his latest breakup in the street. When his music catches the ear of a Czech immigrant played by Markéta Irglová, they strike up a friendship based on mut...

Richard Tanne’s intimate and absorbing Southside With You would be one of the best romantic movies of the decade if its subjects were fictional. That it’s also based on the true story of Barack Obama and Michelle Robinson’s first date is but another intriguing selling point. Southside With You follows Robinson, played by Tika Sumpter, as a young lawyer and Obama’s supervisor, who agrees to meet the summer associate for a community meeting. She hesitantly agrees to meet up earlier, but has no...

Quite a lot of superhero movies have a love story to tell amidst all the costumed crimefighting, but for some reason, it’s the one about a mass murderer who knows he’s in a movie that stands out. Deadpool stars Ryan Reynolds as a mercenary who finds the love of his life, Vanessa (Morena Baccarin), a hilarious, sensitive, intelligent, and sensual partner who makes his life worth living. So when he finds out he’s dying of cancer he flees to spare her the horror of watching him die, and he runs...
Director: Steven Shainberg
Not everybody loves each other the same way, and yet, few romantic movies seem genuinely interested in truly exploring a lifestyle of sexual kink. At least we have Steven Shainberg’s Secretary. Maggie Gyllenhaal gives an electric performance as a young woman who discovers, through an unexpected BDSM relationship with her new boss, that she’s a submissive who yearns for just the right dom. James Spaderplays her new lover, but even he doesn’t seem wholly comfortable with who he is and what he r...
Director: Steve McQueen
The second film in Steve McQueen’s Small Axe cycle, a collection of films exploring the lives of West Indian immigrants in the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s, doesn’t so much tell a story as it seems to float, all on its own, throughout a brief and beautiful moment in time. Lovers Rocktakes place at a small house party where young people gather, absorb beautiful reggae music, and are swept away by their emotions… just like the audience. To watchLovers Rock is to feel a rare kind of joy, the se...

There were a couple of great adaptations ofJane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice in the early 2000s, but it’s this charming modern update that stands out the most. Bridget Jones’s Diary stars Renée Zellweger as Bridget, a woman caught in a love triangle between the dashing Daniel, played by Hugh Grant, and the seemingly disinterested Mr. Darcy, played byColin Firth (who, in a bit of stunt casting, famously played Mr. Darcy in a straightforward Pride and Prejudiceadaptation six years prior). It’s...
Director: Francis Lee
Set in rural Yorkshire, God's Own Country follows the relationship between a sullen young farmer, Johnny (Josh O'Connor), and Gheorghe (Alec Secăreanu), a Romanian immigrant who comes to help with the farm. Johnny spends his days estranged from his father, drinking to oblivion, and having secret sexual rendezvous with other men, as he is still not out. He feels left behind as his friends go on to university, escaping their small, isolated town. It seems as though Johnny has acquiesced to the...
