Contains spoilers for Culpa Nuestra, Culpa Mía, and Culpa Tuya.
With the cliffhanger the second movie left off on, Culpa Nuestra was the example of an “almost perfect sequel;” however, it left my head spinning at times with its confusing and interesting plot.
Culpa Tuya, the sequel to the first movie—Culpa Mía—was released late in the winter of 2024. Throughout 2025, fans have been counting down the moments for the release of the trilogy. Although it ended the way everyone had hoped, there were still aspects not included, which overall altered my perspective of the “Culpa” trilogy.
Nick (Gabriel Guevera) and Noah’s (Nicole Wallace) relationship, the main characters in this confusing, yet beautiful, love story, ended exactly the way I had hoped it would. However, the moments throughout the movie build up to their final ending could have been carried out differently.
I cannot deny that my eyes were peeled on the screen for the entirety of the movie, as the action and drama were unmatched. However, this comes with unnecessary details, such as the drama surrounding Nick’s family, as well as Noah’s. The plot of the conflict between these two families–in the first and second movies–can easily get lost along the way, especially if attention is diverted for a few moments; it can be difficult to comprehend what’s happening.
Culpa Nuestra did not improve these issues previously introduced in the prior movies. The third movie was the fastest-paced of the three. Especially towards the end, there was little to no transition or closure for each important event that occurred. Such as when Nick had been physically hurt, then suddenly, it seemed as if everything surrounding this had been skipped. Within the same five minutes, Nick and Noah were now living together. The movie is attention-catching, but there is an extent to which the attention-grabbing situations take away from the plot itself.
In the preceding films, leading up to Culpa Nuestra, it’s clear that the plot held far too many details for the short amount of screen time it receives. The series focuses on Nick and Noah’s love story, but the storyline of fighting, racing, family drama, and family tangles up into one large misinterpretation of a movie. The second movie took an unexpected turn, introducing completely new partners for Noah and Nick, then proceeded to abandon the original plot line of Noah and Nick’s families. Overall, I really had no expectations for the third movie.
With that said, the second movie was very misleading, leaving the third movie an unfortunate disappointment.
In Culpa Nuestra, the first hour primarily builds tension between Nick and Noah, since their relationship is–at this moment– “broken.” But suddenly, the two reconcile and move in together. Considering how broken and irreparable their relationship seemed in the second film, I expected a more developed and believable path to their reunion rather than Noah forgiving Nick so quickly.
However, during the showing, I found myself unable to look away, so this aspect partially makes up for the negative factors. For those with short attention spans, you’d better be prepared to focus strongly during the two hours of this movie, or else you might miss something big with the fast-paced plot and action-filled storyline.
