To All The Boys: P.S. I still love you

To All The Boys: P.S. I still love you - Review

I wasn't sure if I should write a review about something I didn't fully watch. Perhaps I shouldn't, but I'll risk it anyway. While the first movie was beautiful and romantic, this one was… boring. So boring, I stopped watching it after the first half of the film.

I'm sorry for the fans. I'm disappointing you, or you'll like it anyway. I don't know. As I said, I loved the first one, but in this one… nothing interesting happens! I went halfway through the movie and nothing! I usually don't say this without much more explanation, but it is boring!

Teenage Insecurities and Doubts

Lara Jean (Lana Condor) remains insecure. Yes, she is a teenager, and all of us can relate. Yet, this is a piece of entertainment. I would rather see more development in the character.

Now, she has a boyfriend, and she finds out that there is no such thing as a perfect relationship. It is a disappointment to Lara Jean since her goal in the first movie was to find one for herself.

To add even more confusion to her mind, she is about to have a surprise. She encounters another of her crushes in her volunteer work in a retirement house—the only unanswered letter from the first movie. Like any teenager (okay, most of them), she realizes that she doesn't know what she wants.

Romantic COMEDY

Well, since I only watched half the movie, I imagine there are a lot of funny moments in the second half. But I doubt it.

One thing fun here? The old lady in the retirement house. It looked to me that she was the best character in the whole movie.

Tiring

It is romantic. It isn't supposed to be real, right? The positive point is that it shows us the mind of a teenage girl, for whom everything is new, and any problem can be the end of the world.

But it is tiring. It is not fun, as far as I could tell. The relationship with Lara Jean's sisters is lost. To the point I watched, they barely show up. The youngest one was the best part of the first movie! It's a significant loss.

There is still a third book, which probably means a third movie. I guess I'll need to check it. Hopeful it will be better than this one.

The Handmaid’s Tale – From Brilliant to Frustrating

When The Handmaid’s Tale first aired, it felt sharp, terrifying, and painfully necessary. I wrote about the first season as a dark and brilliant adaptation, one that used restraint, symbolism, and dread to tell its story. Now that I've finished the third season, my opinion has shifted — not wholly, but noticeably. The show is still good . Sometimes very good. But it also became frustrating, uneven, and less powerful than it could have been. June Osborne: From Survivor to Exhaustion Let’s talk about June (Elisabeth Moss, Mad Men ). I understand the idea behind her arc. She was meant to evolve — to become more confident, more assertive, more dangerous. A woman shaped by trauma who stops surviving and starts fighting back. On paper, it makes sense. On screen, however, it often doesn’t work. June becomes reckless to the point of irresponsibility. She repeatedly puts others in danger without seeming to fully care about who might be caught in the crossfire. Her actions feel impuls...

Gangsta Granny – Hilarious and Surprisingly Moving

I have a ten-year-old daughter, and one thing we like to do is read the same books so we can talk about them afterward. Gangsta Granny was a birthday gift for her, and she read it so quickly that it immediately made me curious. When a child finishes a book that fast, you know something is working. When I finally read it myself, I was pleasantly surprised — and completely charmed. A Story That Is Funny and Moving At first glance, Gangsta Granny is a crazy, over-the-top, and very funny story. David Walliams clearly knows how to make children laugh, using absurd situations, exaggerated characters, and a fast-moving plot that keeps young readers hooked. But beneath the humour, the book is also sweet, touching, and emotionally rich. What starts as a wild adventure slowly reveals a story about family, loneliness, empathy, and learning to truly see the people around us. This balance reminded me of Roald Dahl’s books , where outrageous humour and emotional depth coexist effortles...

Grief in the Shadows: Why 'The Silencing' Stands Out

A moody thriller about grief, violence, and how far we go for the ones we love. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau ( Game of Thrones ) is Rayburn Swanson , a former hunter who now lives in isolation, running a wildlife sanctuary named after his missing daughter. Years after she vanished, Rayburn is just barely functioning—haunted, grieving, and clinging to the hope that she might still return. When a murdered girl turns up in the woods with eerie similarities to his daughter's disappearance, the local sheriff, Alice Gustafson ( Annabelle Wallis ), launches an investigation. Rayburn, meanwhile, accidentally crosses paths with a mysterious masked figure hunting a girl on his land. This encounter pulls him into the heart of the case in ways he never expected. The investigation twists, misleads, and slowly unravels, building toward a reveal that isn’t obvious—and intentionally so. Nothing is as straightforward as it seems. Themes of Grief and Family What makes The Silencing compelling is...
