3. Birds of Prey
There’s nothing like a healthy dose of girl power to get you through those tough, post-breakup moments. For those moments when you want to break everything, this film of messy and violent women will get you through it all. The film’s star, Harley Quinn, is trying to figure out her identity outside of her relationship with the Joker. To publicly declare their split, she blows up a chemical factory and has a target on her back from everyone she’s wronged over the years. Harley finally teams up with a group that includes Helena Bertinelli, Dinah Lance, and Renee Montoya, proving that you can most definitely be single and be a baddie.
4. Dollface
Released in 2019, this show is another classic breakup tale. Jules’s boyfriend of five years leaves her, making her feel abandoned and lonely. However, this time of self-reflection leads her to realize that she was so focused on the relationship that she neglected her friends, who had moved on without her in the past few years. The show “Dollface” is about her journey to reconnect with her friends. Surreal scene breaks are used to illustrate society’s expectations of women, and this aspect of the show helps it truly stand out. It’s one of the most refreshing takes on female friendship that we’ve seen so far, giving watchers a laugh and reminding them that romantic relationships aren’t the only bonds that matter.
5. Like Crazy
A must-watch for long-distance relationships, Like Crazy shares the story of a couple forced into a long-distance relationship just months after they start dating. When Anna overstays her student visa, she’s banned from the country, making it impossible to see Jacob after she takes a brief trip home. They understandably want the relationship to list, but distance puts a strain on things. Eventually, they develop separate lives and while the on-and-off moments can be painful to watch since problems happen due to the circumstance, it’s a little comforting to know that things can sometimes end without it being anybody’s fault.
