Among all the romance titles streaming services have presented this year, June brings us “A Family Affair,” the new Netflix production that quickly became the most-watched movie in the United States upon its release.

It is directed by Richard LaGravenese, known for his work on “The Last Five Years” and “Beautiful Creatures,” though he is perhaps more renowned as a writer, with notable credits including “The Bridges of Madison County.”

Both critics and audiences alike have praised the film as a highly entertaining two-hour journey, with special applasues for Zac Efron‘s comedic performance.
