Now however it looks like the Barry Keoghan-led movie’s time at the top is over. Mainly thanks to Valentine’s Day and the power ofromcoms. The streaming service has a new most popular movie, the Amazon originalUpgraded.
Starring Camila Mendes (AKA Veronica fromRiverdale) this is a movie far less bold than the at times outrageousSaltburn.Still, as modern romcoms go it’s definitely in the upper echelons. I maintain that the brilliantly savageNetflixmovieDo Revengeis Mendes' best picture but go intoUpgradedknowing what to expect and you’ll have a fun enough time.
She plays Ana, an aspiring ‘art intern’ who despite struggling to pay the bills is treated to an upgrade on her flight to London. In first class, she of course meets a handsome British boy (Archie Renaux) who comes from old money, and of course, a classic misunderstanding spirals out of control.
Like I said, hardly revolutionary, but that’s ok. There’s plenty of warmth here and strong central and supporting performances, with the likes of Marisa Tomei andDerry Girlsalumni Saoirse Monica-Jackson.
Old-fashioned romantic comedies do seem to be making something of a comeback of late. The success of the Sydney Sweeney starringAnyone But Youand nowUpgradedseems almost like a throwback to the 90s/early 00s and I’m all for it. Let’s not forget the incredibly romantic Netflix adaptation ofOne Dayeither. It will interesting to see if this trend keeps up now Valentine’s Day has passed.
If you’re after something else on Prime Video then thestreaming serviceis adding two superb movies on the 22nd of February,Lady Birdand a superbEmma Stone and Ryan Goslingcollaboration.
