Netflix Movie Review: The Most Beautiful Girl in the World
An Unexpected Blend of Teen Romance, Humor, and Heart
If you’re scrolling through Netflix looking for a teen movie that’s a little different from the usual, The Most Beautiful Girl in the World might just surprise you. This German film, directed by Aron Lehmann, brings a refreshing twist to the classic high school love story—mixing modern teenage drama with timeless poetry.
The story centers around Cyril, a witty and talented student with a passion for rap music. But there’s one thing that holds him back: his oversized nose, which makes him insecure and often the target of bullying. When a new girl, Roxy, joins the school, Cyril is instantly drawn to her. But instead of confessing his feelings, he hides behind his words, helping a more conventionally attractive (but less expressive) classmate win her over using his lyrics and messages.
This setup may remind some viewers of Cyrano de Bergerac, and that’s no coincidence—the film is a modern-day retelling of that classic story, but with a youthful, energetic vibe that makes it feel fresh.
What really stands out in The Most Beautiful Girl in the World is its heartfelt storytelling. While it has all the charm and awkwardness of a teen rom-com, it also dives into themes like self-worth, identity, and the fear of rejection. Aaron Hilmer’s performance as Cyril is both funny and deeply moving, while Luna Wedler (as Roxy) brings warmth and complexity to her role.
The soundtrack, filled with original rap songs and emotional beats, adds another layer to the film, making it resonate with younger audiences especially. Even if you're not into foreign films or subtitles, this movie is easy to connect with because the emotions and struggles are universal.
Final Thoughts:
The Most Beautiful Girl in the World is more than just a teen romance—it’s a reminder that beauty is more than skin deep, and that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is speak your truth. It’s clever, emotional, and well worth a watch on Netflix.
