If you didn’t catch Mckenna Grace’s latest emotional powerhouse performance in theaters this past October, you are officially out of excuses. After a surprising and successful run at the box office, the Colleen Hoover adaptation Regretting You is coming home. Paramount has confirmed that the film will begin streaming exclusively on Paramount+ starting tomorrow, December 23.
While the movie features a solid ensemble cast, including Allison Williams and Dave Franco, it is Mckenna Grace who truly steals the show. Taking on the role of Clara Grant, she once again proves why she is the go-to actress for complex, emotionally demanding young adult roles. Clara is messy, angry, and grieving in a way that feels incredibly authentic, and Grace navigates those heavy waters with a maturity that anchors the entire film.
The story follows Morgan and her teenage daughter, Clara, whose already strained relationship is completely fractured following a tragic accident that kills the husband and father who bound them together. As secrets about the crash come to light, Clara spirals into rebellion while Morgan attempts to keep their world from falling apart.
For long-time followers of Mckenna Grace, seeing her in this role is a natural progression from her work in Gifted and The Handmaid’s Tale. Her chemistry with co-star Mason Thames, who plays her love interest Miller, has been a major talking point among fans and critics alike, providing some much-needed lightness and romance amidst the heavier themes of grief and betrayal.
The move to Paramount+ is a huge win for fans who want to re-watch the film or experience it for the first time from the comfort of their couch. With the holiday break upon us, this is the perfect time to grab a blanket and stream what is easily one of the most talked-about romantic dramas of the season.
