A heartbroken human finds solace with a werewolf, but a vampire's return ignites a dangerous, ancient conflict.
Melancholy and romantic. A date-night pick at a measured pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
Streaming on Netflix.
No surprises for a PG-13: no sex or nudity and mild language.
Rated PG-13, but by what is on screen our estimate is fine from about 7.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
Forks, Washington resident Bella Swan is reeling from the departure of her vampire love, Edward Cullen, and finds comfort in her friendship with Jacob Black, a werewolf. But before she knows it, she's thrust into a centuries-old conflict, and her desire to be with Edward at any cost leads her to take greater and greater risks.
It leaves things open rather than tying them up.
