The New Romantic was director Carly Stone's first feature film.[1] The film premiered at the 2018 South by Southwest Festival, where Stone was awarded Special Jury Recognition for First Feature.[1]
The film explores the relatively new phenomenon of young women, described as "sugar babies" who seek to be given allowances by older wealthy men, known as "sugar daddies".[2] In return for the allowances the sugar babies go on dates with their mentors, or meet them for discrete sexual liaisons.
Blake, a college senior, and author of her college newspaper's sex column, played by Jessica Barden, decides to follow the example of another student, played by Camila Mendes, and try out being a sugar baby herself.[3]
