Twilight

Film · 2008

When Bella Swan moves to a small town in the Pacific Northwest, she falls in love with Edward Cullen, a mysterious classmate who reveals himself to be a 108-year-old vampire. Despite Edward's repeated cautions, Bella can't stay away from him, a fatal move that endangers her own life.

The sides of Twilight

  • A new girl in a rainy town
  • A boy who doesn't age
  • Love that could kill

Twilight is good for you if…

  • you like an intense first love with a forbidden edge.
  • you like sincere teenage feelings without irony.
  • you like a moody soundtrack, from Muse to Bella's Lullaby.

Twilight is bad for you if…

  • you've outgrown high school romance and first-love drama.
  • you need momentum. Much of the film is glances, school corridors and walks in the forest.
