Overall, The Next 365 Days is a mixed bag. It is a well-made film with some good performances and beautiful cinematography. However, the plot is predictable, and the characters are one-dimensional. The film is also very problematic, romanticizing abuse and toxic relationships.

The film's plot is very predictable. Laura and Massimo get married in the second film and are now trying to navigate their new life together. However, their happiness is threatened by Massimo's family, who disapprove of Laura, and by Nacho, a new man who enters Laura's life. Of course, Laura eventually chooses Massimo, and they live happily ever after.

The characters in The Next 365 Days are one-dimensional. Laura is a damsel in distress who needs to be rescued by a man. Massimo is a possessive and controlling man who believes he can own Laura. Nacho is a mysterious man who seems to be interested in Laura. The other characters in the film are also one-dimensional and serve only to support the plot.

The film is also very problematic. It romanticizes abuse and toxic relationships. Massimo kidnaps Laura in the first film and forces her to stay with him. He also threatens her and her loved ones. Despite this, Laura eventually falls in love with Massimo, and they live happily ever after. This is a hazardous message to send to viewers, as it suggests that abuse and toxic relationships can be romantic.

Overall, The Next 365 Days is a mixed bag. It is a well-made film with some good performances and beautiful cinematography. However, the plot is predictable, and the characters are one-dimensional. The film is also very problematic, romanticizing abuse and toxic relationships.
