Best-Reviewed Romance Movies 2020
If you are looking at this list and feeling romantic, that’s to be expected; if you are looking at this list and wondering why a film from 2019 is the winner, then you are an independent film obsessive who didn’t know Portrait of A Lady On Fire was put into limited release in the US in 2020. Critics said Céline Sciamma’s intimate period romance is gorgeously shot and confirms that the most steamy romances are often predicated on all the moments and stolen glances that happen before the two lovers finally embrace. Rounding out our top three are Palm Springs, which gives a new twist on the Groundhog Day time-loop formula, and The Half of It, an LGBTQ coming-of-age story that had critics swooning on Netflix.
