Culpa Nuestra (Our Fault) 2025 review: The final film in the Culpables trilogy is here! Critics and fans debate if Nick and Noah’s reunion was too rushed or a perfect ending.

Release Date: October 16, 2025 (Prime Video)

Director: Domingo González

Cast: Nicole Wallace, Gabriel Guevara

The highly anticipated finale to the Culpables trilogy, “Culpa Nuestra” (Our Fault), has finally arrived, bringing the turbulent, forbidden love story of Noah and Nick to a close.

Following the massive global success of My Fault and Your Fault, the film was tasked with delivering a satisfying emotional payoff while condensing the dense final novel by Mercedes Ron.

The initial reception is a tale of two extremes: dedicated fans are thrilled to see the end of the journey, but many are voicing intense disappointment over the film’s rushed pacing and significant departures from the book’s core plot points.

The Narrative: Love, Resentment, and the Final Confrontation

Culpa Nuestra picks up roughly a year after the tumultuous breakup that concluded Your Fault. Noah (Nicole Wallace) and Nick (Gabriel Guevara) are estranged, pursuing separate lives—Noah starting her career and Nick taking over his grandfather’s business empire. The central drama ignites when they are forced to reunite for the wedding of their best friends, Jenna and Lion.

The plot focuses on the intense psychological conflict: Can their undeniable, passionate connection overcome Nick’s lingering resentment, their family’s betrayal, and the new relationships they’ve formed in their time apart?

The film successfully maintains the glossy, high-stakes melodrama the franchise is known for, featuring scenic Spanish backdrops and the actors’ signature sizzling chemistry.

A villainous threat and a major unexpected revelation—a key part of the book’s climax—are central to forcing the couple to face their deepest fears and decide if their love is truly stronger than their accumulated pain.

The Critical Fan Divide: Book vs. Screen

The most consistent criticism leveled at Culpa Nuestra is the feeling that the emotional weight of the novel was sacrificed for speed. The final book is known for being an emotional rollercoaster, deeply exploring the characters’ individual healing, Nick’s inner turmoil, and Noah’s journey through a complex, life-changing event.

The film, in its attempt to cram all these developments into a single runtime, appears to have compressed or entirely removed major subplots.

Core Issues Noted by Audiences:

Rushed Pacing: The long-awaited reconciliation and key life events feel abrupt, lacking the buildup and depth provided in the source material.
The Pregnancy Subplot: Fans of the book have been particularly vocal about the handling of Noah’s pregnancy and the birth of their child, noting that the entire crucial period was severely minimized or summarized, diminishing its emotional impact on the couple’s growth.
Missing Details: Several dramatic and intimate details from the novel, which fans were eagerly anticipating, were skipped over, leading to a sense of incompleteness.

Despite these issues, the movie is still garnering praise from viewers who enjoy the core performances of Wallace and Guevara and were simply looking for a definitive, romantic ending to the trilogy.

Final Verdict

Culpa Nuestra delivers the final chapter that millions of fans were waiting for, complete with the signature steamy chemistry, high drama, and a definitive end for Nick and Noah. However, it is an adaptation that will likely be remembered for its aggressive condensation of a beloved final book.

While those unfamiliar with the source material may enjoy the glossy, high-octane romance, readers of the Culpables trilogy will need to temper their expectations for a detailed, book-accurate conclusion. For the fandom, it serves as closure, but perhaps not the deep emotional resolution they had desperately hoped for.
