Your Fault (Culpa Tuya)
What's the Story?
Noah (Nicole Wallace) is ready to move into a dorm and start college, while boyfriend and stepbrother Nick (Gabriel Guevara) is about to embark on an internship at a law firm abroad when YOUR FAULT (CULPA TUYA) begins. But when Nick's best friend, Lion (Victor Varona), suggests that long-distance relationships don't work, and that their girlfriends—Noah and Jenna (Eva Ruiz)—are about to move on, Nick changes his plans and stays back in Spain to be near Noah. Their parents, Will (Iván Sánchez) and Rafaella (Marta Hazas), are none too thrilled and engineer an attractive new law partner, Sofía (Gabriela Andrada), to distract Nick. Meanwhile, Noah's suspicious new roommate, Briar (Álex Béjar), has her own history with Nick. And while Noah's dad is gone, Nick's mom (Goya Toledo) is about to make a reappearance. Will their relationship withstand all the changes?
Is It Any Good?
This second YA franchise entry struggles to create the same drama as its predecessor, but the gorgeous cast and settings, and the tortured relationships, will still appeal to the target audience. Your Fault's precursor, My Fault, is one of Prime Video's most watched non-English-language films. This time around, instead of the forbidden love of stepsiblings and threat of an abusive parent, the drama settles around the core relationships' viability.
As the main characters meet new people and start new phases in their lives—college, professional internships, and careers—their relationships are put to the test. New characters, like the potential alternative love interests for Nick and Noah, make sense. But others, like Lion's imprisoned brother and Nick's unstable ex-girlfriend, form part of seemingly important backstories that emerge out of nowhere. They're overly stereotyped and contrived for suspense, and they're entirely disposable. Hopefully the sequel, Our Fault (Culpa Nuestra), which has already filmed, returns the focus to the core players.
