Our review

Bad Words

Ríoghnach Robinson

4.5/ 5 · Outstanding

Bad Words by Ríoghnach Robinson is an enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy with a long, slow burn, about novelist Parker Navarro and the critic Selina Chan who flattened his debut and did it again to his second. A filmed confrontation turns their feud viral, and the real story happens in private. Low on heat, high on banter and ideas.
