This post contains Large spoilers For "My Year in Oxford"

Sofia Carson separates a beautiful career for herself as the queen of Netflix romance. Former Disney Channel actress played aspiring the textoper who fell to a marink in the romantic drama in 2022 "purple hearts" before leading Hit Romantic Comedy "Life List" dominated by topflix top charts in 2025. She also found time to play Taron Egerton's wife in "The Thrill of" Die Hard "" wearing " In 2024, and now returned for more romance with "My Year in Oxford".

This latest romantic drama led by Carson is directed by Iin Morris, which British viewers will know best as the creator of "The Inbetweeners". However, there are no buses for buses in "My Year in Oxford", though. Only very tight, vulgar dialogue, and even a little charm. The film is written by Allison Burnet and Melissa Osborne, but the true genesis of this film is Tad Crushed, so it brings me with me.

The film is inspired by the novel by the same name from Iaulia Velan, who spent a year as a student attending Lincoln College, Oxford. In 2018 When Burnet asked Velan for help, she decided to write a book based on the script, which then returned to the Netflix original script in 2025. If you are confused, do not worry, because the plot of the film is much less complex than the story of the origin. The end, however, proved surprisingly controversial, and now Morris spoke in defense of his streaming film and a surprisingly disturbing end.

Basically, "my year in Oxford" is like The most daring comedy in 2023, Saltburn, Without any deviation or supplement and much more young adult tropes and romantic clichés. Sofia Carson plays Anna de la Vega, an American student who travels to England to study Victorian poetry for a year at the University of Oxford. The famous beautiful English guy in the form of Jameimi Davenport of Corey Milchest, a student and teacher of Dil, who presented himself by spraying Anna with his car. Of course, it does not take long for the student for the exchange to fall for his allure after she appears in an hour she learns.

The others play as a dream of the bookstore, with Jameimi and Anna hit the passionate romance that sees them rapidly developing deep feelings despite the initial insistence that both are just "fun". There are several classic friends with help comic books that will help lighting things, which are useful to them when, from nowhere, it is reported that Jameimi has a terrible illness that has already taken his brother's life. It is a classic romantic novel twist that is also just a morbid, but surely gives the already tragic man to the leading man, and thus make him even more unattainable for Anna. This is especially so because he refuses to continue with potential life -saving treatments in favor of living his life to the fullest before his impending death.

Take a look, "My Year in Oxford" is not trying to undermine the romantic genre or to provide deep research on his topics. But it most knows what it is, and as a piece of fodder on Netflix, it's perfectly acceptable - I dare to say even a little charming in its unwanted embrace of an idealized Oxford fantasy and its simplistic LOVEUBER story. As such, you can expect the film to deliver a full happy ending. No - and now the director has talked about what the biggest controversy of our time is certainly.

During the film, Jameimi and Anna dream of traveling to Europe, but the poor blow begins the basket before they can be released. The film type of tricks that tricks in that sense, however, as the final shows the couple traveling the continent together before the fast transition reveals that Anna is actually there alone and that Jameimi has really died. Of course, fans were not too impressed by this dark hope, especially since it was never clear as Jameimi left. But and andin Morris thinks all actually necessary Being completely destroyed by the end of "My Year in Oxford".

Judging by some of the social media ReactionsViewers certainly didn't think about the last moments of "My Year in Oxford" The best end of the movie. The end scenes show that Anna teaches the same class that Jameimi taught in Oxford, confirming that she had left her plans to become a banker and accepted the truth, becoming absorbed in the poetry she loves so much (and probably still earns a lot of money in Oxford. It is this element, according to Iin Morris, otherwise made the tragic end tolerant.

Talking to Hollywood reporterMorris explained that he wanted "a sense of closing for the story (Jameimi), but without being very literal." The director added that he thought that the end had hope and sad elements alike and that Anna's decision to stay in Oxford was the most important element of the whole thing, as it quoted an important message on how to "live his truth". Director continued:

"What we want for her is to do what she needs to do, which is clear in that there is a passion. We didn't want to come back and work Goldman Sachs and be the smartest marketing assistant or whatever.

But beyond inspiring audiences with hope, Morris seems perfectly aware of what he is doing in terms of what everyone is really upset. "I really, I really hope that everyone will be destroyed," he said. "Like, I really love people in absolute pieces. I would like everyone to cry and take away a kind of sense of hope. I would like one day to tell me," It's my favorite movie. "It is not clear how to fuel all that would result in Morris's film becoming someone's favorite, but you'll go. Otherwise, if you are not convinced of the director's explanation and absolutely hated the end of "My Year in Oxford", but otherwise they were busy in the romance of it, it is worth noting that the book ends up on a more promising note.
