Plot

Noah must leave her town, her boyfriend and her friends to move into the mansion of her mother's new husband. There she meets her new stepbrother Nick and their personalities clash from the very beginning. However, the attraction they feel will lead them to live a forbidden relationship, where their rebellious and tormented tempers will turn their worlds upside down, making them fall madly in love.[1]

Cast

Production

The film is based on the Wattpad story Culpa mía by Mercedes Ron, later expanded into a book trilogy published by Penguin Random House.[5] It is a Pokeepsie Films (Álex de la Iglesia and Carolina Bang) production.[6] Shooting locations in the Costa del Sol included Torremolinos, Manilva, and Marbella.[7]

Release

The film debuted on Amazon Prime Video on 8 June 2023.[8] According to Amazon Prime Video, the film reportedly attained the best opening three-day viewership figures for any non-English local original in the history of the service.[9]

Reception

Lucas Hill-Paul of Daily Express rated the film 2 out of 5 stars, considering that it might be "Prime Video's trashiest venture yet, but it at least arrives with a self-aware wink and two likable leads".[10] John Serba of Decider.com gave My Fault a negative review, deeming it to be "an atrocious movie", with the characters being otherwise "insipid and rudimentary".[11] Ready Steady Cut critic M.N. Miller faulted the film's dialogue as "cheesy, Velveeta-like" and the script's lack of focus as a case of "cinematic dissociative identity problem."[12]

Sequels

Prime Video España announced on 26 July 2023 that they would also be making two more movies based on Mercedes Ron's final two books in the Culpables trilogy, Culpa Tuya and Culpa Nuestra, which translate to 'Your Fault' and 'Our Fault' respectively. Wallace and Guevara will both be reprising their roles as Nick and Noah.[13][14] It was confirmed that both Culpa Tuya and Culpa Nuestra will be filmed concurrently, and principle production for both sequels officially began in late August 2023.[15]
