Review of Culpa Nuestra (2025) ★★ Disappointing and cluttered finale to the trilogy.

Review of Culpa Nuestro, a film directed by Domingo González, with Nicole Wallace, Gabriel Guevara, Gabriela Andrada and Marta Hazas

What is our fault about?

At the end of the trilogy GuiltyNoah and Nick have been separated for a long time after their breakup. Each one has followed their own path: she, starting her working life; and he, preparing to inherit his family’s company. However, the imminent wedding of Jenna and Lion will finally lead to the inevitable reunion between the two.

Criticism of Culpa Nuestro: a trilogy ending that falls short of its predecessors

Being at the end of a saga – and also one as loved by its fans as the trilogy Guilty— implies that making a worthy and worthwhile ending is a great responsibility. Due to the desire to offer an outcome that lives up to expectations, sometimes there is a tendency to think that the bigger the better, which ends up being a double-edged sword.

And this is what has happened with our faultthe last film in the trilogy Guiltydirected by Domingo González and with a script signed by Sofía Cuenca and the director himself. The film has sinned by wanting to be bigger and more spectacular than its two previous installments. The result is an accelerated film, with too many open fronts—some shoehorned in to force connections with previous installments—and that leaves a chaotic story, below its predecessors.

In the end, these types of stories have their codes. In fact, this film resorts to a fairly common topic in other stories of its style; but it all lies in how they are used, something that the first installment, my faultknew how to do well to offer a result far above other proposals of its genre. However, our fault It ends up wanting to cover too much, sacrificing coherence and development.

A crowded, rushed and lacking development story

By trying to connect almost everything presented throughout the three films, the script ends up being an incoherent hodgepodge that clumsily collects the elements planted, without giving them the necessary development. It feels as if some of the relevant information had been left in the editing room to speed up the footage.

And if the events feel half-baked, the worse goes for the characters. The entire development of the protagonists—especially that of Nick—advances excessively quickly, preventing them from being built naturally and preventing the viewer from connecting with their evolution. Another clear example is Noah’s relationship with Simón, which develops in leaps and bounds.

The cast maintains the level of the previous installments, with a much smaller participation of Marta Hazas and Iván Sánchez, and with Nicole Wallace who continues to be above Gabriel Guevara, whom I still do not believe on many occasions.

A disappointing ending

For those who enjoyed my fault, our fault It is a disappointing, redundant and too ambitious closing for its own good, falling far short of that “grand ending” that it promised.
