The New Romantic
When a college student's (The End of the F****ing World's Jessica Barden) sex column at her school paper is threatened with cancellation because it's too "boring," she decides to kick things up a notch by becoming a "sugarbaby" — aka a girl who receives gifts and money in exchange for spending time with (and sleeping with) an older man. As interest in her column soars, she realizes her situation might not be as clear cut as she first imagined. Instead of a heroine with a glamorous job in fashion and a sprawling big-city apartment, it's more compelling to see a near-broke college senior making her way through life, as well as the realistic, non-judgemental ways the film handles sex and independence as a young woman.
