On February 14, immerse yourself in the realm of these anti-romantic movies on OTT to protect yourself from the cheesy scenes outdoors.
The Break-Up on Prime Video
In The Break-Up, Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston portray a couple who has decided to call it quits. The movie is a great option to commemorate Anti-Valentine's Day, as the title suggests. The story of the movie highlights the difficulties of romantic relationships and draws attention to the fact that people no longer recognize their partners' efforts; instead, they are content to be with them but not to appreciate them.
Her on Prime Video
Spike Jonze's thought-provoking film Her centers on a state-of-the-art examination of love and friendship. The story is about a socially isolated man, played by Joaquin Phoenix who has an odd relationship with an artificial intelligence system. He soon becomes quite attached to the AI and starts to regard him as a woman. The movie takes viewers on an intriguing journey through the modernization of love, showing how individuals are willing to accept a digitalized version of it to satisfy their need for love. You should add this film to your list of anti-Valentine's Day films because it tells a narrative of a non-traditional love affair.

Gone Girl on Netflix
Gone Girl, a psychological thriller that was released in 2014, is still recognized as a classic movie. The same-titled book by Gillian Fynn served as the inspiration for the movie's plot.

At first, their relationship appears to be cheerful and joyful, but as the horrifying reality begins to surface, things start to go wrong. If you want to feel on the edge of your seat, watch this movie.
Get Out on Prime Video

It starts from a typical Valentine's Day celebration to the part where everything is not quite happy and romantic. The film discourages a positive outlook on romance.
