8 New Romance Movies That Will Make You Believe In Love Again
Oct 03, 2024
There’s nothing I love more than snuggling up on the couch in front of the TV with a fuzzy blanket wrapped around my shoulders and a warm beverage in hand — especially as we head into the colder months. But instead of watching the Hallmark Channel for hours on end (...guilty!), I can always go for a good romance film. What’s not to love? The adorable meet-cute, the swoon-worthy moments and the undeniable yet steamy chemistry that could be felt through the screen. With a few months left of 2024, there are so many upcoming romance films that I can’t wait to watch. (And yes, one of those movies just so happens to be We Live in Time starring Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield.) So, get ready to feel all the feels because here is a complete list of the new romance movies coming out in 2024.
Joker: Folie à Deux - Coming to Theaters October 4, 2024
Warner Bros. Pictures
I know what you're thinking — Joker 2 isn't a romance! But TBH, Joker and Harley Quinn’s romance is unlike any love story we’ve ever seen before on the big screen. Their whirlwind of a romance begins at the Arkham State Hospital, where failed comedian/evil mastermind Arthur Fleck is being held as he awaits trial for the heinous crimes he committed as the Joker. While there, he meets a Dr. Harleen Quinzel. In an attempt to learn the inner workings of the Joker’s mind, she ultimately falls in love with him and becomes his unruly sidekick. And together, they wreak havoc on the city of Gotham. Name a better chaotic duo, I’ll wait.
Joker: Folie à Deux stars Lady Gaga, Joaquin Phoenix, Zazie Beetz, Harry Lawtey, Brendan Gleeson, and Steve Coogan.
We Live in Time - Coming to Theaters October 11, 2024
A24
Meet Almut and Tobias, who meet under less-than-ideal circumstances. But this very encounter blossoms into a decades-long relationship that brings its fair share of ups and downs. According to the film’s synopsis, the love story is told through “snapshots of their life together—falling for each other, building a home, becoming a family." And when they learn a hard truth that threatens their happiness, "they learn to cherish each moment of the unconventional route their love story has taken.” Excuse me while I go grab the tissues because I can already tell this romance is going to be a tear–jerker, for sure. Check out what Florence and Andrew had to say about creating their life together during a Q+A.
We Live in Time features a talented ensemble cast, including Andrew Garfield, Florence Pugh, Marama Corlett, Nikhil Parmar, Aoife Hinds, and Adam James.
Lonely Planet - Premiering on Netflix October 11, 2024
Hilary Bronwyn Gale/Netflix
In this intoxicating romance drama, Laura Dern plays Katherine, a novelist who travels to Morocco to participate in a writer’s retreat. Hoping that a little peace and quiet will break her writer’s block, Katherine is eager to get some work done. The Big Little Lies star recently told Netflix, “Katherine has spent her life dedicated to narrative and therefore [hasn’t spent] much time looking at deep truth within. She is at a turning point in her life where she is looking for a softening and deeper understanding.” While at the retreat, she meets a dashing (and moody) young man named Owen Brophy, who is played by none other than Liam Hemsworth. What starts off as an innocent friendship turns into an enchanting love affair that neither of them can escape. Sounds like my kind of romance film.
Aside from Laura Dern and Liam Hemsworth, Netflix’s Lonely Planet is set to star Diana Silvers, Rachida Brakni, Ben Youcef, and Adriano Giannini.
Bonus Track - Coming to Theaters October 11, 2024
Vertigo Releasing
If you enjoyed watching Love Simon from start to finish, then I think Bonus Track may be right up your alley. The year is 2006 and 16-year-old George dreams of becoming a famous musician. But there's only one problem: no one seems to agree that he's the next A Star is Born. But that all changes when a teenager named Max, the son of a mega-famous musical duo, enrolls at his school and takes an interest in his music. This is what George has been WAITING for — his big break! However, George starts to question his feelings for Max when they start hanging out more and he finds himself torn between two scenarios. So, are George and Max meant to be more than just friends? Or is Max George’s one-way ticket to stardom?
Bonus Track stars Samuel Paul Small, Joe Anders, Alison Sudol, Ellie Kendrick, Ray Panthaki, Susan Wokoma, and Josh O'Connor.
Chosen Family - Coming to Theaters October 11, 2024
Brainstorm Media
While her life is in complete shambles, Ann, who's a yoga teacher, wants nothing more than to achieve inner peace. Aside from her family driving her insane, her love life is, for lack of a better word, an utter disaster. In turn, they set her up with a handsome divorcé/girl dad named Steve. When Ann meets Steve’s seven-year-old daughter Lily, she falls head over heels. But Lily is willing to do whatever it takes to keep her dad and Ann apart in true reverse-Parent Trap style.
Chosen Family stars Heather Graham, Julia Stiles, Andrea Savage, Thomas Lennon, John Brotherton, and Michael Gross.
Anora - Coming to Theaters October 18, 2024
Neon
Say hello to Anora, a sex worker who resides in Brooklyn. The last thing she expected was to meet and fall in love with one of her clients, but she gets a real shot at true love when she falls for the son of an oligarch. In a spur of the moment decision, they get married and start planning their lives together. (Talk about a fairytale romance.) But when news of their spontaneous elopement reaches Anora's parents in Russia, that fairytale is threatened when her parents return to New York to get the marriage annulled.
Anora stars Mikey Madison, Mark Eidelstein, Yura Borisov, Ivy Wolk, Darya Ekamasova, Lindsey Normington, and Karren Karagulian
Your Monster - Coming to Theaters on October 25, 2024
Will Stone/Vertical Entertainment
Reminiscent of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, Your Monster follows a shy actress named Laura Franco, who is dumped by her playwright-boyfriend in the middle of her cancer battle. But her life changes forever when she meets and falls in love with a charming yet short–tempered monster living under her bed. (Yes, you read that right.) But is it a love story that’s meant to be?
