Movies like No Hard Feelings

“No Hard Feelings (2023) is a 2020s American romantic-comedy that stages a paid-dating premise to interrogate intimacy, consent, and economic precarity. It centers a negotiation between a cash-strapped protagonist and a sheltered young man, filmed through close two-shots, observational framing, and naturalistic lighting that treat proximity as argument. The film demonstrates how commodified intimacy indexes class anxiety and reframes coming-of-age as an emotional economy.”
