Our Fault/Culpa Nuestra is the third and final film in the Your Fault/Culpa Mía franchise, based on the books by Mercedes Ron. This time around, Nick (Gabriel Guevara) and Noah (Nicole Wallace) have broken up. Nick is now dating Sofia (Gabriela Andrada). Nick and Noah reunite for the wedding of their best and closest friends, Lion (Victor Varona) and Jenna (Eva Ruiz). Lion and Jenna care so much about both of them; they can see how much the breakup has affected Nick and Noah. Even at their own wedding, they try everything they can to get them to reconnect, but Nick still can’t forgive the hurt Noah caused him. Noah gets a new job and is shocked to discover that Nick recently acquired most of the company. From there, more sparks and jealousy start to build — but both Nick and Noah are in relationships with other people. Meanwhile, unknown to everyone, Briar (Álex Béjar) has returned.

Our Fault / Culpa Nuestra was a fantastic and emotional ride from start to finish, though it can be frustrating at times. Having grown up with Nick and Noah over the years and watching their journey, you really root for them to get back together — but every time you think it might happen, something always ruins it. The movie, like the previous films, does a great job of blending different genres—romance, comedy, some horror, and action—all into one story. Some of the funniest moments come from a running joke about a waterfall that continues throughout the film. Another great scene is when Nick and Noah are in the car arguing about whether to keep the window up or down. It’s funny and awkward at the same time because of the tension and uncomfortable silence between them. Gabriel Guevara as Nick was amazing, and you could really see how much everything affected him, even when he tried to hide it. In this film, I found myself more annoyed with how Nick acted than Noah, but at the same time, he has matured a lot compared to the first film. Even when he acts out, he doesn’t turn to violence anymore. I was proud of his character when he realised at one point that he had overreacted out of jealousy — this showed real growth. The old Nick would’ve never admitted that. Gabriel did a fantastic job showing Nick’s subtle regret and inner struggle. As for Noah, she’s much more mature now but still badass. She’s grown a lot as a person and has become very close with Nick’s sister, Maggie, whom she cares for. It felt like Noah also had a realisation about the true meaning of family — and the way she addressed Nick’s father was a powerful moment of growth, not only to help Maggie. I did feel slightly bad at one point for Noah due to how Nick used her, but later on, she does the same to Nick so she won’t get hurt. This was a very interesting moment between both of the characters, as Nick had rarely experienced having less power. Another thing I liked was how Nicole Wallace did a great job of acting nervous around Nick. It was cute but also a little sad to watch — there were moments when she clearly wanted to comfort him and found herself slipping back into old habits but at the same time stopped herself or pulled back. In other scenes, like a slow dance scene at the wedding, she was nervous to hold his shoulders. Nicole, as Noah, was amazing at portraying this conflicted side of her character. Noah’s outfits and shoes always gave off summery vibes with dresses and skirts but with a blend of badass style, as she wore cool boots and more. Eva Ruiz and Victor Varona were great as Jenna and Lion. Their chemistry was amazing, and they played off each other so well. The light-hearted banter and playful arguments were fun to watch, but you could tell they truly love each other. Sofia’s character was developed really well too. Gabriela Andrada did a great job showing Sofia’s kindness, compassion, and caring side. I liked how Sofia and Noah both get jealous of each other, as they both think the other is perfect, but they still stay respectful and kind. You can tell they both admire each other and wish they had some of the other’s qualities, while still staying friends and showing mutual respect. Alex Béjar was excellent as Briar, delivering a powerful portrayal of her pain. She also keeps the audience intrigued by making you wonder what Briar is thinking, adding to the character’s mysterious side. With both Sofia and Briar, you can’t help but feel sympathy and sorry for them as you understand what both characters are feeling. The movie also has a short car chase/race scene with a unique twist. Compared to the previous films, I did notice the romance scenes were slightly more explicit, but I think that was done to show the tension and love–hate energy between Nick and Noah.

Our Fault had a few things I wish were improved. I would’ve liked to see more action scenes, especially near the end—those moments felt like they could’ve been extended. The movie could have had explored what happened to certain characters and their fate. I found myself wanting to see what happened with Simon and get a later update on Briar. I also would have liked to have more scenes with Briar, as I felt some characters’ stories were slightly rushed over. Another issue was the frequent time jumps; it was often difficult to tell how much time had passed since the film often didn’t say. I still enjoyed the movie but did think the previous two films had the stronger plot.

Overall, Culpa Nuestra was a great and emotional conclusion to the series. It had humour, heartbreak, and so many moments of growth for the characters. It’s a perfect ending for Nick and Noah’s story — frustrating at times, but full of emotion and love. I really hope we get another film in the future—even if it’s ten years from now—so we can continue following the character’s journey. Culpa Nuestra is a beautiful ending to the franchise. 4 ⭐️
