Fun, refreshing and satisfying

I love that in 2022 we can finally see stories like this! Under-represented themes that aren't bogged down by being too deep and heavy. This film managed to balance showing the healing and freedom that comes from self-acceptance & embracing difference in a way that remained fun, sensual and heartwarming.

This was 100% your classic, heart-fluttering romantic comedy with great chemistry between the leads, but it felt especially refreshing and satisfying in the way it shone a light on how much fetish & kink culture can teach about consent & power dynamics in healthy relationships.

Plus, I loved that rather than making fetish & kink the butt of a joke like we usually see, the film manages to avoid stereotypes and find the humor and comedy in a way that feels modern and well, about time already! It was tasteful and genuinely funny.

The soundtrack fitted well; low-key, not cheesy or distracting. The writing, visuals and acting were all on point. The actors and director really did such a good job of making every scene and bit of dialogue enjoyable or meaningful to the story without it dragging at any point.

I'm sure some people are going to worry about too explicit scenes but there really aren't any.

If you like fun, light-hearted romance and comedy then I really recommend this film.
