Reviews
On the one hand, it's a breath of fresh air - instead of the usual violence, struggle and rejection, the protagonist finds love, strength and companionship in coming out. It's a side of the story that's not often covered in movies that instead chose to dramatize the trauma of being gay. The movie's depictions of LGBTQ life is refreshing, depicting the experience of having gay friends and the struggle of being closeted and normalizing the existence of closeted LGBT people.
But the main plot is kind of silly, the acting feels stilted and the camerawork is amateur.
Still, I would recommend watching it once just for the refreshing take on the subject matter.

An ok movie with some interesting representation
This is the story about the bubbly girl who met her cold female lead and fell in love... once she did that she found out a bunch of stuff yet managed to stay bubbly throughout.Ms. Bubbly has great energy, she is honest and kind and is allowed to make mistakes without coming off as childish. Ms Cold is cool, and while I do not really get her choices she has this smart coolness around her that I highly appreciate. Together these two have great chemistry and a whole lot of good lines.
The people around ms bubbly are lovely too, she has a really fun to watch easy to fall in love with dad, a fake boyfriend who is just the sweetest mist honest and I dare say enlightened guy out there.
This movie is a dialog driven movie, there are a lot of good lines in here, making it almost feel like an educational. But there is also something that feels a bit underdeveloped, meehish to it. As this is a slice of life there is not a lot to keep you on your toes, as the few turns of events are not very eventful and most of the potential drama passes by almost unnoticed.
So basically it is a movie with a nice take on the subject of love, life and the choices society (and biology at the time) force people to make.
I am however not sure any of the people in this actually love their lives as I kept wondering who was going to die...
