Synopsis
Young Werther (2024) is a romantic tragicomedy you can watch online on iFILM. Sent to Toronto on a trivial errand by his mother, charming and hopelessly impulsive novelist Werther runs into Charlotte and decides on the spot that she's the one.
There's a catch: Charlotte is already promised to Albert, a steady and genuinely decent man. Too smitten to back off, Werther sets out to win her over while striking up an oddly sincere friendship with her fiancé. The closer the three of them grow, the harder it gets to tell lust from fondness from the real thing. Douglas Booth plays the irresponsible romantic, with Alison Pill as Charlotte and Patrick J. Adams as Albert.
The script lifts Goethe's centuries-old tale of lovesick Werther and drops it into a modern city, swapping the original's grim ending for something wry and bittersweet. José Lourenço's feature debut is built for fans of talky rom-coms where the banter matters more than the rain-soaked kiss. Stream Young Werther online on iFILM.
