13. Normal People (2020)

This adaption of Sally Rooney's bestselling novel explores in detail the complexity of relationships as the bond between Connell (Paul Mescal) and Marianne (Daisy Edgar-Jones) grows from high school to university. It is a tender, raw take on love, friendship, and self-discovery. The intimacy with which Normal People delves into the emotional and physical connection of two people is the vulnerability inherent in love. Fun fact: Paul Mescal's interpretation of Connell became immediately embedded in popular culture, especially through the "Connell's chain" fashion trend that started gaining popularity after its release.
