About
You’ll likely like Newness if you enjoy frank, modern romance with messy emotions and debates about what love really means; Not for you if you want a purely uplifting dating story like Like Crazy or a less sexually explicit take, such as Breathe In.
Pros: emotional, modern romance; Thought-provoking relationship drama; Strong lead performances | Cons: characters feel unethical; Repetitive and slow; Some find it predictable
