Don't Miss Regretting You

If you’re a sucker for emotional mother-daughter stories, messy family secrets, and the kind of scenes that make you clutch a pillow to your chest, the Regretting You movie adaptation absolutely delivers. Based on Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel, this film brings all the book’s heartbreak, tension, and sweetness to the screen — and it does it with a surprising amount of depth.

The Story

At its core, Regretting You is about Morgan and her teenage daughter Clara, whose already strained relationship is pushed to the edge after a life-altering tragedy. The movie follows both of them as they try to untangle their grief, misunderstandings, and the secrets that begin to surface.

Even if you’ve read the book, the way the film unfolds still hits hard. The emotion is there, the intensity is there, and the transitions between their separate worlds feel seamless.

What the Movie Gets Right

🎥 The mother-daughter conflict: Just as uncomfortable and real as in the book.🎥 The emotional pacing: Not rushed, not dragged out — it hits all the right moments.🎥 The visual storytelling: Flashbacks and subtle reveal shots add impact without overdoing it.🎥 The soundtrack: Soft, moody, and perfect for those gut-punch scenes.

What Fell a Little Short

If you’re a hardcore fan of the book, a few details and subplots may feel a bit trimmed down. Some internal emotions were harder to translate from page to screen — but that’s expected in any adaptation.

Clara’s teen rebellion can also feel a bit extra at times, but honestly… that’s Clara.

Final Thoughts

The Regretting You movie is emotional, beautifully acted, and faithful to the spirit of the book. It’s the kind of film that leaves you thinking about your own mother-daughter moments, for better or worse. You’ll cry, you’ll get frustrated, and you’ll probably want to call your mom afterward.

⭐ 4.3 out of 5 — A touching, well-crafted adaptation absolutely worth watching.
