Twilight
Twilight is a 2008 American romantic-fantasy film directed by Catherine
Hardwicke and based on the novel of the same name by Stephenie Meyer.
Seventeen-year-old Bella Swan moves to the small town of Forks, Washington to
live with her father, Charlie, after her mother remarries a minor league
baseball player. She is quickly befriended by many students at her new high
school, where she is intrigued by a mysterious group of siblings known as the
Cullens. Bella sits next to Edward Cullen in Biology class on her first day of
school, and he appears to be disgusted by her, much to Bella's confusion.
A few days later, Bella is nearly struck by a van, when Edward suddenly appears
and stops the vehicle with his hand. Although he refuses to explain this act to
Bella, Edward warns her against becoming friends with him.

Critic Reviews:
- " Ten years after its release, Twilight stands as a powerful, darkly
stylish depiction of teen female desire. " –
Anne Cohen
- " A sometimes girlie swirl of obsession that will delight fans, this
faithful adaptation is after teenage blood, and will most likely hit a box
office artery. " – Will Lawrence
- " It's a recognizable coming of age story with a fiendish twist.
