The highly anticipated sequel to 2023’s My Fault, titled Your Fault, is now live on Prime Video, just in time for the holiday season. Directed by Domingo González, this movie is based on Mercedes Ron’s popular Culpables series.
The original film garnered a respectable 6.2 rating on IMDb, and now that the sequel is streaming, audiences are eagerly awaiting to see if it will surpass its predecessor’s success.
Nicole Wallace and Gabriel Guevara reprise their roles as Noah and Nick, but despite their efforts, the latest installment falls short of expectations.
In this review, we will explore some elements of Your Fault and you can decide for yourself if this movie deserves a spot on your watchlist!
Noah and Nick Face New Challenges
It should come as no surprise that Your Fault has a steamy start with a sex scene between the protagonists, Noah and Nick, in the first five minutes of the runtime. The chemistry between the leads, much like in the first film, feels forced and lacking from the opening scene, yet we’re invested enough to see how their story unfolds.
Apart from the chemistry that leaves us feeling unsatisfied, the screenplay doesn’t do many favors to the movie either. The dialogues almost feel AI-generated, and the delivery is almost too mechanical. The bar hadn’t been set too high with the first movie, but by the looks of it, the sequel might be more disappointing.
There’s a montage of Noah and Nick spending quality time together and some moments with their friends, but it won’t be long before the couple is separated. In most romance dramas, you will find yourself rooting for the couple, but in Your Fault, you simply want Noah and Nick’s romance to come to an end, much like her disapproving mother does.
Noah is done with high school and ready for college, but Nick wants them to live together after he realizes that she might just start living a life of her own when she goes to college.
Unfortunately, Your Fault fails to improve at any point, with even its dramatic and steamy moments – the latter of which feel overly abundant – coming across as awkward and cringe-worthy.
Your Fault isn’t an easy watch, and while this critique might seem harsh, you can test it yourself and see whether or not this movie is your cup of tea – but we wouldn’t recommend it. This latest movie is yet another shabby attempt at an unconventional romance and we’re hoping there won’t be a third part to this series.
Conclusion
If you make it to the end of Your Fault without skipping any scenes or fast-forwarding in certain places, then do let us know in the comments, because we won’t be convinced otherwise!
