The #3 Movie on Netflix Is Leaving Everyone Emotionally Wrecked—And Yes, You Should Still Watch It
So what's all the fuss about?
My Oxford Year follows Anna (played by Sofia Carson), a bright and driven American who lands a spot at the University of Oxford, basically fulfilling her lifelong dream. She's career-focused, driven, has her whole five-year plan mapped out. That is, until she meets Jamie (Corey Mylchreest), the witty, poetry-loving Brit who just so happens to be her TA. The two connect quickly over their shared love of literature and the romance feels like it's headed straight for classic rom-com territory. But here's the twist: this isn't just a love story. It's a life story. One that gently (then not so gently) reminds you that love, growth and grief are often tangled up together.
And yeah… that's when the TikTok tears start.
People are posting videos all smiles at the beginning, ready for a cute love story—and then BAM, cut to them at the end: sobbing, mascara running, questioning everything. It's almost funny if it weren't so brutally accurate.
I'll be honest, this movie was already on my radar before the emotional carnage started trending. And while I usually go for feel-good content (because life is hard enough already, right?), I still plan on watching. Why? Because some of the takeaways from viewers have been so deeply moving, I feel like it might just be worth the emotional rollercoaster.
One TikTok user shared, 'My Oxford Year taught me that when time is short, you love harder.' Another said the film gave them 'realizations,' adding, 'it teaches us that love should be felt and not understood."
With perspective like that? Yeah. I'm definitely pressing play—with tissues in hand.

Queen Camilla Has Allegedly Told King Charles to "Put a Stop" to William
A former royal photographer is spilling on what's going on behind the scenes with the royals, and he's alleged that Queen Camilla is NOT here for Prince William's antics. Ian Pelham Turner tells The Mirror that he believes Queen Camilla's "seeing William trying to create issues and she's told Charles to stop it." He added, "I think the reality is, it's been rumored for a while, that William has been trying to push—whatever—in the monarchy, at the moment, that he's the driving force behind the throne and I think, Charles should be." Prince William and his stepmom have a historically strained relationship, and last year royal expert Christopher Andersen told Us Weekly that William merely "tolerates" Camilla, who has always been "a little afraid" of him. The author also said that Camilla "needed a gin and tonic" after her first time meeting William. Sounds rough, but a family friend also told the outlet that "William has warmed up to Camilla over time" and they have "a familial relationship these days." "There's a lot to overcome," they added. "William and Harry had always distrusted Camilla and felt resentment toward her because of their devotion to their mother. They never felt comfortable opening up to her in any real way. William and Harry's distrust grew when they found out Camilla was leaking stories to the press to make herself look better." The feud with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle apparently "brought them closer," as the friend notes that "William and Kate don't want any extra drama or tension in the family—they have enough of that with Meghan and Harry It was really Kate who warmed William to Camilla. She's never been dismissive of Camilla and always treated her with kindness."

South Korean Supreme Court dismisses U.S. composer's ‘Baby Shark' copyright claim
SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea 's Supreme Court rejected a 30 million won ($21,600) damage claim Thursday by an American composer who accused a South Korean kids content company of plagiarizing his version of ' Baby Shark,' ending a six-year legal battle over the globally popular tune known for its catchy 'doo doo doo doo doo doo' hook. The top court upheld lower court rulings dating to 2021 and 2023 that found no sufficient grounds to conclude the company, Pinkfong, infringed on Jonathan Wright's copyright. Wright, also known as Johnny Only, recorded his version in 2011, four years before Pinkfong's, but both were based on a traditional melody popular for years at children's summer camps in the United States. The courts ruled that Wright's version did not differ enough from the original melody to qualify as an original creative work eligible for copyright protection, and that Pinkfong's song had clear differences from Wright's. The Supreme Court said its ruling reaffirms the established legal principle on existing folk tunes as derivative work. 'The Supreme Court accepts the lower court's finding that the plaintiff's song did not involve substantial modifications to the folk tune related to the case to the extent that it could be regarded, by common social standards, as a separate work,' it said in a statement. Pinkfong said in a statement to The Associated Press that the ruling confirmed its version of 'Baby Shark' was based on a 'traditional singalong chant' that was in the public domain. The company said it gave the tune a fresh twist by adding 'an upbeat rhythm and catchy melody, turning it into the pop culture icon it is today.' Wright's South Korean attorney did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Pinkfong's Baby Shark became a global phenomenon after it was released on YouTube in 2015, with the original 'Baby Shark Dance' video now exceeding 16 billion views and peaking at No. 32 on the Billboard Hot 100. Baby Shark remains a crucial product for Pinkfong, which earned 45.1 billion won ($32.6 million) in revenue in the first half of 2025, according to its regulatory filing. The company has turned the five-member shark family — Baby Shark, Mama Shark, Papa Shark, Grandma Shark and Grandpa Shark — into TV and Netflix shows, movies, smartphone apps and globally touring musicals.
