Film Romance X Streaming
Vida Hubbert
Let's be honest, romance movies aren't always masterpieces of filmmaking. Plenty of big Hollywood releases have been a mess of clunky cliches and stilted dialogue. Now cutting-edge AI video generation is being used to take those traits and run with them while throwing terrible visuals into the mix.
Video generation may be one of the next frontiers in generative AI. But for all the big advances, including the new AI tools in Premiere Pro that Adobe revealed yesterday, this trailer for a short AI film shows the results can still be spectacularly awful.

A bit of a Love Actually for the teen set, Let It Snow is a sweet film from top to tail, as interested in the dramas of teen friendship and domestic struggles as it is the blossoming romances.

A lot of the Netflix Christmas romances follow in the Hallmark Channel vein, and absolutely no judgment if that's your preferred thing, but for those who want an old-fashioned feel-good holiday romance, Let It Snow is just the ticket.

Choose Love is a 2023 interactive romantic comedy film on streaming service Netflix. Viewers make choices for the main character Cami, played by Laura Marano, as she questions her relationship with her partner Paul when two other men enter her life. It was released on August 31, 2023.
Cami's happy relationship with her boyfriend Paul is disrupted when two other men enter her life: her first partner Jack and British rock star Rex.[3] Viewers are given choices for Cami to make, which affect the future of the story. For example, on the first such occasion, Cami is getting a tarot card reading, and the audience is to choose whether she wants to hear the 'good news' or 'bad news' first.[2] The choices are sometimes initiated by Cami's breaking the fourth wall to directly address the audience.[4][5] The film is designed such that, after making a choice and seeing the result, the audience may go back and make a different choice, yielding a different result.[2][4]
Choose Love received generally negative reviews from critics. Claire Shaffer wrote for The New York Times that, unlike other interactive films whose "unpredictability [...] kept the gimmick somewhat afloat", the film was "a series of disconnected, shallow interactions, each leading to a different predetermined clich."[2] Liz Kocan wrote for Decider that the otherwise-likeable character design suffered from the interactivity.[14] Brian Lowry wrote for CNN that the film "strains the storytelling to fit the gimmick" and demonstrates that interactive films, "while theoretically intriguing, seldom match the appeal of a well-told story."[4] Courtney Howard wrote for Variety that the setting was "difficult to be fully immersed in" and that the "[m]en are one-dimensional at best, used solely to further [Cami's] arc."[5] Linda Holmes wrote for NPR, "You pick the ending you want, and it gives it to you." as a critique of the film, which she compared to AI-generated content.[15] Adrian Horton, writing for The Guardian, criticized the "flatly lit and oversaturated style" and "overdrawn acting and stakes-less swooning", also calling the film "another poor conclusion of algorithmic content" and saying that it has contributed to the "oppression of choice" present in such media, but praised it "for entertaining the prospect of a female protagonist ultimately choosing to go solo".[16] Lydia Venn writing for Cosmopolitan[7] and Pratik Handore writing for The Cinemaholic[8] both also praised the endings where Cami chooses to be single, calling them "empowering".
