Films and TV shows that feel like Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield
An exuberant, wide-eyed anthem about infinite possibility and stepping into your own future.
- Easy A (2010): It captures the bright, witty, and optimistic reinvention of a high schooler rewriting her own narrative.
- Lady Bird (2017): The film echoes the desperate, joyful yearning of a young woman trying to define her identity beyond her hometown.
- The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012): It shares that specific mid-movie tunnel-scene euphoria of feeling infinite and completely untethered from the past.
- Ted Lasso (2020): Both the show and the song share a radical, almost stubborn optimism about the power of turning the page.
- Gilmore Girls (2000): The sparkling dialogue and ambitious small-town dreaming mirror the bright, effervescent pop energy of the track.
- Little Miss Sunshine (2006): It mirrors the chaotic, beautiful unpredictability of throwing away the script and just performing as your true self.
- The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005): It embodies the golden-hued, youthful solidarity of young women stepping into uncharted summers apart.
- Clueless (1995): Though from a slightly earlier decade, it shares the same sun-kissed, high-fashion optimism of female self-reinvention.
