Culpa Mia 2 is the film that so many of you have been waiting for, yet there are no words to describe the indifference this movie brought me. I had read the books when they were first released, and while the first film wasn’t extraordinary, it was still somewhat enjoyable in its own way. But the direction these films are taking has become so tiring that the second installment left me completely indifferent.
Culpa Mia Part 2: The Redundant Sequel to the Famous Film
In my opinion, the real issue is that books like Culpa Mia came out around the same time as the After series. As a result, in addition to their almost identical storylines, these films are also terrible from a feminist perspective.
The boy who always does the wrong thing, playing the bad boy, and the girls constantly portrayed as either psychopaths or fragile little things. These tedious films are nothing new, and it’s far from what we need in 2025.
Béa: Psychopath or Strong Woman? The Line is Thin
In this movie, a new character is introduced: Béa. Quickly, we learn that she is Nick’s ex-girlfriend, with whom he had a car accident. She supposedly spent several months in the hospital with multiple fractures, and when she was discharged, Nick had cheated on her and didn’t visit her during her hospitalization. The worst part? She was actually pregnant, and she lost the baby in the accident.
The film tries to portray Béa as a psychopath harassing Nick, when in reality, she ended up in the hospital with multiple fractures, lost her baby, and was cheated on. There’s plenty of reason for her to be furious.
The real question is: if the roles had been reversed, would we have called the man a psychopath, or would we have focused on how he should be destroyed by the horrific betrayal of his wife?
Nick and Lion: Idiot 1 and Idiot 2
Let’s talk about Nick and Lion, shall we? The first is incapable of behaving properly with his girlfriend and thinks he can continuously buy her off, while the second is unable to accept help from his girlfriend and prefers to risk his life rather than take money from his billionaire girlfriend. All because of his poor toxic masculinity. Especially since, in the beginning, he’s offered a job, not money, but it’s too complicated for him to admit he got the job thanks to his girlfriend. His masculinity would take too big of a hit.
And this whole “they should fly on their own” narrative, as if their girlfriends need them to live… Better to be deaf than to hear that.
A Parent Conspiracy, Slightly Desperate
Nick and Noah’s parents are adamant—they don’t want to see this relationship continue. What better way to deal with it than by having Nick work with Sophia, the daughter of a wealthy couple of family friends, who also happens to be stunning? That’s the plan set up by Nick and Noah’s parents, and to be honest, aside from stirring up trouble in their family, nothing good will come of this alliance. Especially since Sophia is likely to end up hurt, and that’s not going to stop Nick and Noah…
Finally, The Truth About the Mother?
Nick’s mother, although she may not have been a great mom to Nick, is, let’s face it, very clever. Charismatic, she plays her pieces like a chess master to save her youngest daughter’s life. But when you see her, it’s hard not to admire her. With all the grace she has, who’s to say I wouldn’t do whatever it takes for my child? And even though she made many mistakes with Nick, it’s to her credit that she’s trying to do better with her younger daughter.
As you can tell, Culpa Mia 2 didn’t excite us, and honestly, we’re not eager for a third installment if they plan to make one.
The best thing for you is to make up your own mind, so don’t miss out—watch Culpa Mia 2 on Prime Video.
