8/10
Cliche and cheesy, but it's what teenage girls want and it delivers on that
16 January 2024
Spanish cinema joins the trend of adaptations of Wattpad stories with this film. The story is different from the novel, but it has what you would expect from a Wattpad story written by a teenager. Raquel is another alter ego of the author who at first starts out as a stalker, but curiously becomes something that changes Ares's life. Young Ares is the typical rich and handsome boy who after meeting Raquel, what begins as a simple hobby, turns into a romantic relationship.

It's a cheesy romance story that, like many others on Wattpad, is told from the perspective of a teenager. Of course there are erotic scenes that sometimes go to the extreme, but that's what teenage girls fantasize about all the time. Many may interpret these types of stories as something toxic, but the reality is that teenage girls are not saints and have that need to explore the appetites that the world offers. That is something that of course has to be allowed because even though there may be consequences for wanting to have a relationship like the ones seen in these types of stories, it is really necessary for them to experience it and suffer the consequences to discover what life really is..

The relationship between Raquel and Ares has its negative side, but it was something necessary that they had to experience and then evolve. Ares is someone who never knew love and had to be a victim of it to discover how beautiful and painful it can be. The same in Raquel's case, because she had to discover that Ares was more than just a pretty face. Although it may not be to the liking of many, this is what young women today want. Toxic romances obviously have a negative effect, but if teenage girls want to experience that, it is better to allow them so after that they can discover what things are like in the real world. Obviously, seeing it from the perspective of someone who doesn't agree with these types of movies will clearly see it as a bad movie. But from the perspective of a teenager who needs to please his hormones, it's a cute story.

This is the kind of movie that today's youth wants, otherwise it wouldn't have become a trilogy. It can be said that as a romance movie for teenagers of generation Z it fulfills its purpose even if it has flaws. What they want to see is not a masterpiece, but a story that reflects those feelings and desires that teenage girls need to satisfy regardless of the consequences. A Través De Mi Ventana is a film not suitable for everyone, since its only target audience is the female audience of generation Z who wants to experience romances of this type and have all the freedom to fulfill that objective. My final rating for this movie is an 8/10.
