You+Me - Against the World

Movie 2026 94 min Romance, Drama Last reviewed 23 Sep 2026
Official Rating R ClearAge 16+

No Australia rating available — showing United States

Why our age differs

Official is R. We say 16+ because the sex scenes are the main reason to wait, not graphic violence. Language and threats sit at a mid-teen level once sex is on the table

Our take

College students fall for each other while hiding secrets from a wealthy family and a troubled past. Kissing and sex scenes show a condom on screen, alongside intimidation texts, a bloody fight and campus drug-dealer talk. Fine with a parent from 16. Younger teens may struggle with the sex and the stalking tension.

Uplifting themes

Young people should get to choose their own path, not only the family's plan Friends stick up for each other when secrets and pressure pile on

Story (may spoil tone)

Alma Lancaster, 18, appears to lead a perfect life within a wealthy family who believes she is studying law. In secret, she pursues her true dream: filmmaking. On campus, she meets Vadim Arcadi, 20, a magnetic and solitary rebel with a troubled past. Forced to collaborate on a student film, they clash, grow closer and fall in love — despite themselves. But someone is watching them, determined to tear them apart and expose secrets that could destroy both Alma and Vadim.

Talk after watching

  • Is it ever OK to hide a big life choice from your family, and what happens when they find out?
  • When someone you like has a complicated past, how do you decide what to trust?
