Aren’t you sick of hearing almost everyone say they’re sick of classic stories being taken up to tell other stories? Maybe you’re sick of it too, but what about when that twist is cool and full of humor? So something like Rosalinethe new Star+ movie.
The text on which it is inspired Rosaline It is nothing less than Romeo and Juliet, the classic by William Shakespeare, but this time it focuses on Rosalina, Juliet’s cousin, when she meets Romeo.
Do not think that it is only about Shakespeare’s work seen with different eyes. Rather it is the story of Rosalina, who was in love with Romeo and vice versa, but her cousin appears on the scene.
Let’s get one thing straight
Rosalina is not an invented character, as she appears in Shakespeare’s original play. In fact, Romeo goes to the Capulets’ party (Rosalina and Juliet’s family) to declare his love for Rosalina, but then he sees Juliet and falls in love with her. In the end, Rosalina never gets a chance to tell Romeo that she is in love with him.
What is new is that in this film Rosalina does everything possible to separate Romeo from Juliet, but instead of this being a drama, director Karen Maine made it a comedy, and it turned out very, very well. .
They are the protagonists
Kaitlyn Dever as Rosalina
Kaitlyn was nominated for an Emmy for Best Supporting Actress for the series dopesick just last year, but many of us place her as Amy in night of the nerds.
Isabela Merced is Juliet
Isabela is one of our favorites thanks to her participation in Transforms: The Last Knight, Dora and the Lost City and even in Sicario, the day of the soldier. Obviously, we also love her facet as a singer, in which she has made luxury collaborations, as in her single Agonywith Kayfex.
Kyle Allen is Romeo
We love what Kyle does here because his acting range is huge. You can still do a musical, like West Side Story like a horror series, like American Horror Story. As Romeo is great.
Now that you know all the details about Rosalina, all you have to do is watch this hilarious movie on Star+. You are going to adore her.
