Out of My League

Out of My League (Sul più bello, 2020) is an Italian teen rom-com directed by Alice Filippi — watch it online on iFILM. Marta is an orphan living with a terminal illness, and also the most irrepressibly upbeat person in her friend group. Her current goal: get the best-looking boy in school to fall for her. Not just any boy. That one specifically.

Ludovica Francesconi plays Marta with the kind of energy that makes you forget you're watching someone with a death sentence. The film, adapted from a popular Italian YA novel, is the first in a Netflix trilogy — breezy, warm, and refreshingly unwilling to wallow. The illness is there, but it never steals the spotlight from Marta's very teenage plan to have a love story worth telling.
