The romantic comedy genre, long thought to be dying, continues to evolve and thrive reflecting modern sensibilities. Critics discuss their favorite rom-coms alongside two contemporary films, Celine Song's 'Materialists' and Lena Dunham's 'Too Much', which are seen as successors to classic endeavors. There is speculation about whether the perceived decline in rom-coms is tied to shifting ideals among adult women. The exploration centers on whether new depictions resonate with audiences as powerfully as the classics did, suggesting a quest for deeper representation in romantic narratives.
I wonder if the crisis in rom-coms has to do with a crisis in how adult women want to be or want to see themselves.
Both of these projects are basically trying to speak to the fact that everyone's ideals are in question.
