At first glance, the Netflix tagline "William unexpectedly befriends a 14 year old who changes how he sees women" causes one to look away with a sense of discomfort. However, you should look past the basic plot-line and give the film a chance, as it has more depth to it than a forbidden relationship.
The story is not a love story in the traditional sense, but rather a story of friendship no matter how brief. A late 20-something guy attempts to find himself in Copenhagen and is led on a journey of self-discovery by a 14-year-old girl who is wise beyond her years. — youtube.com

"Snowpiercer" is a South Korean film that takes place after the world has ended. Everyone left alive is on a train, divided by class into sections which determine each character's worth. The film boasts an international cast with recognizable stars, Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton and Octavia Spencer.

"How I Live Now" is based off of the book of the same name by Meg Rosoff. The film takes place in the beginning of World War III.

"Perfect Sisters" is based on a true story in which two teenage twin sisters kill their mother.
The film follows the sisters through their miserable lives with an absent, drunken mother and her multiple abusive boyfriends. The sisters eventually have had enough and jokingly start to plot about killing their mom. At one point, after one sister is constantly goaded suggestively by her mother's boyfriend, the two sisters have had enough.

The two actresses, Georgie Henley and Abigail Breslin, make the movie worth watching with their strong and believable dynamic as sisters. — youtube.com
