A literary classic gets a 21st-century coat of paint with Young Werther, based on the 1774 novel, The Sorrows of Young Werther. The film loosely follows the plot of the book, but has been updated to reflect 2024 sensibilities. Douglas Booth (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies) stars as the title character, an aristocratic young fop who falls in love with a young woman (Alison Pill, The Newsroom). The only problem is that she’s already engaged to be married to a pretty great guy (Patrick J. Adams, Suits). Thus, Werther embarks on a quest to win his beloved’s heart, whether she’s interested or not.
