There’s emotional complexity, making it work for more than just its key demo. Read full review

Ms. Johnson directs the picture with an assurance that matches that of her plucky protagonist. Read full review

This one is about 15 minutes too long. It could well have skipped the teen party at an enormous mansion and done with a less protracted misunderstanding. Other than that, it is a delightfully adorkable time. Read full review

Condor is a ready-made star, and Centineo rises to meet her, the adoring, throaty lunk any introverted teen dreams of coming around and melting away her shyness. Theirs is a teenage romance I can believe in, despite its ridiculously convoluted circumstances. Read full review

Its heartwarming and clear-eyed approach to first love and the challenges of coming-of-age distinguishes it from its contemporaries. Read full review

Centineo is the big beating heart at the center of the somewhat reserved To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. He’s a lot like his character, bringing out the best in this love story. Read full review

Inkoo Kang

First-time feature writer Sofia Alvarez’s attempt to shrink Han’s lengthy, largely internal, and culturally specific story into a 97-minute movie is, simply put, a botch job. Stilted and scattered and strangely cold in its cinematography, it’s a handsomely shot whole lotta nothin’. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film does one thing that every Rom-com should, it makes me smile. It's the kind of film that you can bond with your friends over. It's beautiful, emotional and charming. I love the character of Lara Jean, shes just a very likeable and believable character, someone who I, as a 17-year-old teen can relate to on an emotional level. I completely buy Peters and Lara Jeans relationship because unlike some movies like The Kissing Booth where the couple feels over-sexualized, in this movie they focus on their conversations and making a real connection over time. I just really love this movie, its teen romance done well.… Expand

Netflix’s adaption of the Jenny Han novel is executed to heartwarming perfection. This is a coming of age story that explores the power of all forms of relationships and the undeniable beauties and struggles that accompany them.

Why do teenagers have to make romance so complicated? It's this timeless coming-of-age dilemma that is given a fresh twist in this Netflix original film. To All The Boys I've Loved Before was surprisingly tender, and surprisingly funny. The leading performance by Lana Condor is really great.Why do teenagers have to make romance so complicated? It's this timeless coming-of-age dilemma that is given a fresh twist in this Netflix original film. To All The Boys I've Loved Before was surprisingly tender, and surprisingly funny. The leading performance by Lana Condor is really great. She's incredibly vulnerable and relatable, and she carries the weight of the film easily on her shoulders. The story is really fresh and nice, if a little bland at points. This was a movie that really caught me off guard by how well it was crafted. Hats off to everyone involved!… Expand

This is a very enjoyable teen romance film from Netflix. Unsurprisingly, it doesn't really do anything out of the box or original. You know what the arc of the story will be about 15 minutes in.
