Pure romance movies seldom get wide releases in movie theaters anymore. But after Paramount hit pay dirt adapting Colleen Hoover’s novel “It Ends With Us” last year, the studio quickly turned around her book “Regretting You.”
The movie, set fictionally in a small town in North Carolina but shot in metro Atlanta this past spring, focuses on Morgan Grant (Allison Williams) and her teen daughter, Clara (McKenna Grace), who experience a major tragedy. They handle their grief differently and commensurate tensions ensue.
