My Oxford Year is a Netflix-produced romantic comedy drama based on the novel by Julia Whelan. The story follows an ambitious American student whose life plan gets a major shake-up when she meets a man at Oxford.
While the plot hit all the familiar beats of the genre, the chemistry between Netflix alums Corey Mylchreest (Queen Charlotte) and Sofia Carson (Purple Hearts) was decent enough to keep me invested.
I did find myself wishing for a bit more character development and a more diverse cast to really round out the world, but the film still managed to pull at the heartstrings. It was a sweet reminder to take life one moment at a time and not to be so devoted to a plan that you miss out on love.
At its core, it delivered exactly what it promised: a charming, predictable escape to the English countryside. It’s a perfectly cute at-home movie for a rainy Sunday, even if it’s not necessarily one I’d go back and watch a second time.
