Suzsplaining: The Sad-Millennial Rom-Com

Content note: There are a few audio clips from movies throughout the film. Some contain swears.

In Suzanne's neverending quest to analyze the rom-com to within an inch of its life, she has stumbled upon a subgenre of contemporary rom-coms she has dubbed the Sad-Millennial Rom-Com. She introduces Hannah to this subgenre (and really bums everyone out in the process) and offers her solution as to how these films can better reflect the nature of love for anxious millennials like us.

Catchup on our past rom-com content where we offer reviews of "Persuasion" on Netflix, "Fire Island" on Hulu, dive into Hallmark Christmas movies (part 1 | part 2), and discuss the evolution from Screwball comedy to contemporary rom-coms.
