Lara Jean and Peter grow up convincingly in a well-handled conclusion to Netflix’s hit trilogy, with a heart as generous as its charming central heroine. Read full review

To All the Boys: Always and Forever offers a heart-meltingly sweet, warmly cheerful and charmingly hopeful romance that delivers a much-needed breath of relief amidst this cold and bleak winter. Read full review

To their credit, To All the Boys films haven’t shied away from serious topics. They’ve been good at teasing out the way teen drama can actually harm young adults (cyberbullying, social anxiety). The films have also engaged with trauma, as the death of Lara Jean’s mother — who represents the sisters’ connection to their Korean heritage — is always part of the films’ focus. But earlier films began and ended in high school, with a smaller scope for character growth, and Always and Forever really wants us to look forward. Read full review

To All the Boys: Always and Forever is the most mature, and thus, most entertaining of the three films because it highlights the choices Lara Jean makes for herself instead of the choices she makes about other people. Read full review

You can largely predict what will happen, but that’s okay. To All The Boys: Always and Forever is sweet, sleek and has plenty of charm. Sometimes, that’s all you need. Read full review

While the movie contains some genuine heartfelt moments, the thread connecting them all is flimsy, and the core conflict is overdone. By focusing on a clichéd dilemma and doing nothing to make it particularly unique, Always and Forever concludes the trilogy on a flat note. Read full review

“Always and Forever” is still likable, still cute, but utterly out of ideas. Read full review

To all the boys: Always and Forever concludes in a dignified way, while retaining some substance, this romantic comedy trilogy (for teens).

This conclusion is basically the same song, with the same tune, but remixed.

The rom-com formula will remain effective because the idyll of perfect romance is something that many people still aspire to. Although I must admit that it would be a refreshing change to see a story in whichThis conclusion is basically the same song, with the same tune, but remixed.

The rom-com formula will remain effective because the idyll of perfect romance is something that many people still aspire to.

Although I must admit that it would be a refreshing change to see a story in which young people were taught that when you finish high school, your life begins with your future in college or whatever you decide to do afterwards, and that same life doesn't end because you break up with who you think it is the love you'll never find again.
I know that story very well, and have seen it too many times before. To All The Boys: Always and Forever closes a cycle that obviously no longer had anything more to say, and perhaps I can mention that it simply returns to do well what made it become a trilogy in the first place, and therefore will be more than enough for the public that doesn't expect more than what they're looking for.
And of course like its predecessors, the only person in the cast worth mentioning is Lana Condor.

A Netflix hit, no doubt about it, but for all the wrong reasons of course.… Expand
