i appreciate how cindy starts crying and then she just makes a joke to cover her emotions as quick as possible
please do not expose me like this
Cindy 15 minutes later: unpin🤣🤣
@@withcindy conceal don't feel don't let it show
blanquita actually though lmao
that slightly traumatized lewk
cindy saying "he's so dumb" while sobbing is the ultimate mood
a perpetual mood
Me reading fan fiction with misunderstandings and angst and they’re just both pining over each other and they just are so dumb
The face he was making.... we love a himbo ally
I- yes T_T
He may be a dumbass, but he’s *our* dumbass
this movie made me realize my favorite duo ever is stupid straight man with good intentions and smart shy lovestruck lesbian . i just think we need more of this
I’m not okay with this
Sydney and Stanley
Steve and Robin
But consider, they're both gay
Noah and Audrey!
The pairing we never knew we needed 🥺❤️
I just realized they called her chugga chugga chu chu because her last name is chu and she works at a train station-
Took me like 3 months and multiple watches to realize that too
it's honestly pretty clever, if only it wasn't said as an insult
Oh my god I didn't realize that jesus I am dumber than the freaking himbo
I thought they called her chugga chugga chu chu because she had such a slow ass bike, so IDK it was like... the train engine that could but in a very snarky side-remark kind of way as an insult to how damn slow her bike is
FR it’s so funny how ppl put in so much effort to make ppl feel bad about themselves 💀
Fun fact: it was based on Alice Wu's real life experience bc of her name.
Kinda sus how quiet Shakespeare's been since Himbo dropped that letter
oop- drag him paul
Underrated comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣
you might say.... as quiet as the dead o.o
Lmao the funny think is that your likes are on 4k 🤣 im sorry I laugh too easily
WE NEED TO APPRECIATE HIMBO'S MOM THOUGH LIKE SHE THOUGHT HE'S GAY, AND WAS LIKE I STILL LOVE YOU
THEN HE SAYS HE MIGHT WANT TO CHANGE THE RECIPE AND GETS HIT WITH HER PURSE
she said : not the fucking recipe my himbo son
That part had me laughing 😂
Aanchal Saxena I LOVED THAT!!! I had to replay it cause it was just golden🤣
She's got her priorities straight
... and then when he’s like ‘I’m not gay’ she says ‘oh thank god’... that’s not what I call acceptance
I know I'm late to this movie, but did anyone else notice how Paul also helped Ellie's dad out of his depression? I just thought it was so cute how he started to bring him those stupid sausages LOL and by the end of the movie, her dad was wearing a suit instead of his pjs. 😭
Paul and her dad was my favourite part!!! Their scenes were so wholesome 😭
yess i knoww it made me cry 😭
It’s the character development for me
I know right 😭
IKRR it was so wholesomeeee
When you realize all that running Paul did throughout the moving was training to chase after Ellie’s train😢
Omg yess I never realized that
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHY U MAKE ME CRY LIKE THIS
gahhhhhhh imma go CRY NOW
Oooooohhhhh
Nooooooooooooooooooooo why must you say these things? :'(
I think Paul’s little “there’s more than one way to love” speech in the church was also referencing not just the gay but also love in general. At first he was like “dating/love is going out and making out and physicality and the sort” and after meeting Ellie his perspective changes about what love is
Exactly this! I also thought he was talking about his relationship with Ellie.
I thought he was talking about his relationship with ellie and not about gay relationship
There IS after all more than one kind of love. Eros, phillia(?) I forgot the others but yeah 😂
@@northbelle2317 p l a t o n i c
Yesss she changes every perspective of his and they made each other grow with their friendship!
“If she straight don’t worry wait till she graduates art school” as someone who started art school straight and ended it with being bisexual...I feel called out
another one bites the dust
Did we have the exact same college experience??? lol
Terra Simone must have 😂😂
I am in art school and am bisexual, I feel called out
Life constructs, college deconstructs.
I mean seriously, I entered med school a straight moderate and now I'm a bi communist.
And I have T H R E E M O R E Y E A R S
When Cindy guesses the entire plot beat for beat in the first minute I-
I'm a natural at guessing teen movies lol
i know right!!! i was SHOCKED
lmao i did the exact same thing almost immediately like every single beat but i LOVED it for its tropeyness
not only first minute, but from THE TRAILER. I'm just... shocked
This means that set ups and pay offs make sense and are sensible so that's good
AS AN AROMANTIC PERSON THE IDEA OF PLATONIC SOULMATES HITS ME SO HARD AND IM SOBBING BYE
AHHHHHH metooooo and I love their platonic relationship!!! Just the fact that it’s platonic makes me so happppyyyy
HEY ARO BUDDYY
im not aro but me and my bestie have so many failed relationships we realised were platnic soulmates because she is the one person i feel super connected to, and i dont need to love her romantically because ive got her as my friend
@@goblinhat0985 I'm glad you found them :)
AHH SAMEE
When mediocre white boy stood up in the middle of church and said gay rights i cried
we love an ally
Beautiful 💅🏽
Same!
The bar is so low it's like the limbo.
Ya, no that's when I cried too
When you look at Ellie and Paul as platonic soulmates, the opening scene hits you harder than the train scene.
I wrote a theatre kids WHOLE PLAY (13 pages) and i charged them $100 and they gave me $200 because he ended up getting an A+
stonks
Fuck yeah 🔥 got that bag. I once got 200 (pesos) for editing a video for someone's history project. The most basic of things and I did it in max 3 hours.
Aw how sweet
This is what I aspire to be
@@daliluher9435 200 pesos?! nahhhh you shouldve charged higher than that🤣
I'm an idiot, I just noticed this.
At the start of their messages Ellie says "If I knew what love was, I'd quote myself" and the last quote screen was a quote from Ellie about love. BECAUSE SHE LEARNED!
Was this blinding obvious to everyone? Is my brain a potato? Please someone else say they missed this the first time!
Peebles Pebbles No, your brain is not a potato! I didn’t notice it either! Thanks for letting me know, this is beautiful!
Wow actually your brain is not a potato, but for those of us whose brains are, you are right here helping us out!❤️
Also, can't help but imagine how hard Cindy would roast me if I were in a movie. And probably also if I were a booktuber. Lol.
no i missed this lol
That’s just beautiful
I legit missed it the first time too, so if your brain is a potato, then my brain is also a potato.
Potato brain and proud.
“You think that reading books gives you a personality”
I feel personally attacked.
I'm attacking booktube

netflix is really coming thru with all these amazing himbo/lesbian friendships.... ellie and paul, steve and robin, syd and stan....
The fact I know all of them YESSSS
Where are the other two came from?
@@Ari_Nekochan steve and robin from stranger things, syd and stan from im not okay with this.
Yes. I know all of them!
Syd is actually bisexual but ok
Paul is like a golden retriever dog but a human
that must be why i love him
My thoughts exactly while he was chasing the train. Lolling tongue and all🤣🤣🤣 he's a good boi!!!
the ultimate himbo
Now I cannot unsee it anymore
Ngl that's my type
Cindy: do you think reading books gives you a personality?
Me: *i silently meet myself in the mirror, my reflection mouths 'no'*
im gonna put this mirror up in front of booktube
I felt that-
@@withcindy oooh what a burn
666 likes, no one else is allowed to like this
I know im watching this really late but when paul says 'its a sin, you're going to hell' I always think he says that not to make ellie feel bad or to be homophobic but i think it's the realisation for him that acording to the religious world hes been brought up in his friend will be going to hell. i think that scene shows how the surroundings paul grew up in affected his world view but i also think it shows how much paul has come to care for ellie so finding out that ellie likes aster is difficult for him because he doesnt want his friend to go to hell and suffer but also maybe the realisation that everyone in their town will think that ellie is going to hell and he doesn't want his town to hate ellie. maybe im reading way past the line but i can't help but think that when i watch that scene.
I felt the same way, his fear of losing her and seeing her hated by everyone was really well portrayed, plus I think his words were supposed to be just thoughts that he said out loud because he was so shocked, so he haven't processed it enough to know he hurts her the moment he said it
I felt like he was kinda saying what everyone around him projected into his brain and so it sounded like he was just repeating words from what he grew up on
Yup thats what i thought too since he was looking down and not at her ... thats what we do when we are in those realistaion times ,we speak to ourselves .
I read somewhere that the first thought or opinion about something is usually laced with standards or reasons(opinions ) we are surrounded by and somehow grew up with, the second thing that comes to your mind is what you think. So I agree.
I know that it is a very important and emotional scene but I can't help but laugh when he says that. I'm a bisexual girl so I'd probably be really upset if someone said that to me but he says it in such an overly dramatic way it's just so hard to not laugh.
“do you think books give you a personality” i have nothing else Cindy don’t take this from me
im sorry u can have this, as a treat
cindy: you can have a little personality, as a treat
"he can't process more than two emotions at once, it's too much for his brain"
for a quick second I thought you were talking about me
who said i wasnt
Same sis same
😭
Paul's invention of a taco sausage is an allusion to his love for Aster as it mixes a traditional dish from Aster's heritage (tacos from Mexico) with his own (sausages from Germany).
You just blew my mind-
woah there is so much symbloism in this movie
That's so cute
waits he's german?
I love how the soulmate thing was portrayed. I honestly feel like my friend are soul mates (we both straight dudes... I know SAD) but we just “connected” like THAT. complete opposite people from completely different upbringings (I’m Native American he a white boy, I’m poor he’s rich, etc) friendship soulmates are great. This movie got me crying cuz my friend is as himbo and he dumb as hell but his heart is in the right place lmao 😂
look up the pre dunya, it sounds similar to what you’re saying, as in connecting
Aw why did I love reading this 🥺
Yes! Platonic soulmates for the win!
i am so happy for you and also getting weepy :''''')
ME BEING DUMB AS HELL AND MY BEST FRIEND FACEPALMING
Cindy every five seconds: “this is gonna be foreshadowing” Cindy every two seconds: “this is a pg13 movie! Taco sausage? Don’t be so nasty!” Cindy every one second: “HIMBO!”
my jokes in a nutshell
only two braincells dont forget bout that
I was trying to figure out where I knew Paul’s actor from. Then I realized I knew him from every Golden Retriever ever
Lmaooooo
OMG THAT SMILE IN THE CHURCH HIT ME IN THE SOUL
The true mr peanutbutter
Cannot unsee Mr. Peanutbutter from him.
EXACTLY, he smiling while running along w the train literally made me said out loud that he's just like a dog
Cindy: "I profit off my tears"
me: *already halfway through emptying my wallet*
money pwease
I kid you not I read "*empathying* my wallet" and was like ~same~
Honestly, the Asian representation was SO GOOD in this movie, and also I screamed when that Bollywood movie scene came up :")
YES
I love that this comment summoned 3 other Indians to come and scream about the Bollywood movie including me
OH MY GOD I HAVE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR SOMEONE TO COMMENT ABOUT THIS!!!
One more has been summoned lolol
ONE MORE HAS BEEN SUMMONED
The guy is actually somehow refreshing to watch because finally we don’t have an overly-confident guy. 🤣
i luv him!!
why is cindy lecturing ellie about her flat rate while waving around cantaloupe on a fork such a Mood
i just think ellie could do better, she's underselling herself
@@withcindy It's true and you should say it
I know i love it
It's an aesthetic.
Omg yes! That was the only thing that got me pissed off. Literally was watching the movie, ranting through the scene about her poor business choice. Like 3-10 pages for $20? ELLIE! Is you dumb? $10 per page minimum.
Paul is dumb but, he does have some emotional intelligence, you know after some time and training
Cindy: If she’s straight don’t worry wait till she graduates art school...
Me: *clutches my sketchbooks*
U aren't safe from it either
I came into performing arts school a lesbian and came out trans
when the himbo ran after the train, it reminded me of a dog running after their owner 😢😭
awwww cute lil puppy!!
Hi! This guy is probably immigrant from poland (maybe second generation) that’s why he loves sausages (and giving food is his love language), speaks like this and he has loud and big family. So my theory is that he is polish himbo (his surname is Muński/Munsky)
Awww I love that!
I wish our main export were supportive golden retriever himbos 😭😭😭
probably second gen. the recipe is from his grandma, so it can be assumed that she migrated to america and had Paul's mum
Headcanons yeaHHH!!!!
this movie's leads showcase the true spectrum of humanity:
himbo - gay
i adore both
then there are those of us who are brave enough to be both

i love nerd-jock friendships!!
Legit doing history work rn whaaaaaat
a shadow reader Coincidence? I think not
The scene with her Dad and Paul actually had me tearing up. It felt so dignifying.
I love that he spoke in Mandarin instead of English, because I know that feeling of wanting to express something and knowing that no one around you will understand, but just saying it anyway because it’s more for you than for others.
man, i teared up at your comment
@@olliealger-obelia6842bro me too
Fun fact the director said that she wrote this movie because of heart break, but not because of love love but because she lost her best friend.
Apparently she n the guy were best friends until he started dating a girl and the gf felt intimidated by their closeness as friends so they stopped hanging out :(
Edit: oop guess I should've mentioned that the director is a lesbian and the guy knew that.
awwwwww :((((
That’s actually annoyingly sad 😔
That’s terrible.
@@withcindy she also has another movie about 2 Asian women falling in love and it has so much Asian rep in it ! It's called Saving Face and it's so nice.
That sucks. My sisters bff is a guy named Jesse. They have been bff's for like 15 years. My bff, her other bff is a guy. It can be done. You just gotta be open about shit.
“ it’s always the brunette girl reading a book in the corner to make up for lack of personality”
Me: a brunette that likes to read
Also me: damn I didn’t expect to get crucified by Cindy
Me, a brunette girl, realizing I have no personality: *throws a book at the problem*
*Belle from Beauty and the Beast is quaking*
Me
@@morley364 okay but not having a personality isn't a problem. it's okay to not know who you are. you are not obligated to know how you want to be to deserve love and respect and have your presence enjoyed by others
I’m a brunette and I buried myself in books during high school because I struggled to fit in. I was too weird I guess and my family didn’t really like my “strong personality”. Whatever that meant. I tried to become what people wanted or think would like because it seemed that was the only way people would “accept me” but then I lost myself and became unhappy. I didn’t accept myself and I think that’s why I didn’t fit in because I didn’t think I could. It’s still a challenge feeling lost and not fully knowing yourself despite the years. From an outsiders perspective, one would think “of course it’s the brunette reading a book lacking personality” but I guess from my perspective it was an escape of a reality I didn’t want to be a part of and I wanted to see if I could find some inspiration from the people I read about in the stories. I was hoping for happy endings but then when I finished reading it left me unsatisfied and realizing that there are no happy endings. You can’t take someone’s life in a story and make it your own. You can’t expect that what happens in the story it’ll be the same outcome. What I did take away is that these stories give you hope that despite the hardships, there’s always a way and the ending is left as an open ending.
Paul wasn't a homophobe. He WAS homophobic but only cus he was raised that way. That was a big part of the story. The live in a small, Christian, racist, and homophobic town. He didn't know any better.
yeah you can tell with his mom saying "oh it's Paul's Chinese friend" 💀
We can say that about every racist person though. That’s not a valid excuse.
@@frenchgirl5878 it's not an excuse but it gives context to a person. a lot of the time, hatred is taught, so living in a racist/homophobic society can teach people to be that way. they're ignorant and can unlearn their hatred, but it takes time, education, and willingness. now, if they're given access to the education and refuse to learn, that's their own fault. with paul, he was taught to be homophobic, but he sought out education and understanding to unlearn the hatred.
"Not all men" you're right Paul would never
Cindy, sobbing uncontrollably: "He's so dumb... He's so dumb!!"
"If she straight, don't worry. Wait until she graduates art school. Then we fucking got her." GIRL LOLLL i entered art school straight and graduates as bi and like, my 5 other friends hahahaha
excellent
The gay agenda is working
I like how Cindy says she loves Paul but is roasting him the whole video but is also exactly like him
Cindy encouraging a fellow Asian to be more selfish (in terms of charging more money for her work) is surprisingly entertaining.
i always encourage selfishness
Aster: It's nice hanging out with girls and not talking about boys for a change
Also Aster, 5 seconds later: I'm gonna marry Trig
She doesn’t have enough personality to do anything else.😂
@@JM-vr1br That is her personality, seriously. Her dilemma is that she's spent her whole life fitting a role so she doesn't know herself. That's her character development and it's really obvious if you pay attention to her that this is it. ALSO when she was saying "I'm happy to not talk about boys" she means she's happy to not be putting these assholes on a pedestal just to fit in with the other girls. The contrast when she talked with Ellie was that she was being honest about her struggles on not wanting to to be tied down, and being conflicted with ideologies she grew up with (as a Latina) and the reality she wants to live. Y'all need to look at her character more because (again as a Latina) this happens a lot (not the being pretty but the having to fit in and losing yourself) so maybe I just caught onto nuance you didn't, but she's deffo my favorite character.
@@JM-vr1br Ellie also pointed out how she "stops being so perfect [when she laughs]" at 16:29
@@meriem.j.3633 doesn’t mean she isn’t boring to watch lol
Lmao why is everyone out here tryna act like Paul doesn’t have depth to his character, I think he is really simple and doesn’t have much to say but he’s really sweet and nice and yeah, sometimes even simple bois can’t process emotions lmao, doesn’t make him an absolute dumbass but I don’t disagree on the fact that he has 2 braincells 😂🙃 But she kept saying it everytime he was on screen lmao like let him breathe jeeezus 😂😂😂😂
this is what i thought too!!
cindy (lovingly) bullying paul for nearly half a hour 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ikr like im sorry that not every main character isnt a multi talented, 160 iq, musician that reads 50 books a month lmaoo
Right?! His kindness and ability to connect with people in his own way is his intelligence/strength
Also, I think him seeming "dumb" might be an allusion to how since studies have proven increased rates of brain hemorrhage from American Football, many white varsities are pulled out from the sport by their families because of this. Meanwhile black (and other POC) athletes stay because they believe it's their only way out of poverty and to good universities. This mindset also remains in poorer white families.
Meaning I get a sense that not only is Paul born with set of questionable intellect, football also exacerbates it but he knows nothing outside of sports to keep for himself.
“This was like me when I entered BookTube and made all the whites mad.”
Let me tell you I WHEEZED and nearly choked on my goddamn lunch I laughed so hard
i live in their heads rent-free
When Paul said Ellie was going to hell I got so sad because I feel like he is saying that because he know thinks his best friend is going to hell. That's how he was raised and it's just so sad on both ends and it makes me so sad but in the end it's okay and he learns, but man that scene killed me : (
He’s just a Himbo with mix views :(
I loved this movie because it’s main character is a “not like other girls” type but isn’t obnoxious about it
i agree!
Because it’s real and not an act she’s putting on to be edgy.
Declan Levesque yeh but she doesn’t dislike other girls or put them down which is an important characteristic of “not like other girls” girl. She’s just a loner, who’s sad cuz she lost her mum.
Saitama Trash that’s what I mean by she’s not obnoxious about it, she knows she’s different but doesn’t judge other people for not being as smart as her
Honestly I felt like Aster was kind of a NLOG girl
This movie is really a beautiful take on love triangles and platonic love. Most movies just can’t seem to do love triangles properly...
Also a huge win for Asian wlw! Let’s go

Aster, people, ASTER💀
There's a small part of me that wants Ellie and Aster to reconnect a few years later, once Aster goes to art school and gets a personality.
i think ellie can do better than aster hehehe
OH SHIT SPILL THAT TEA, SIS
I just want the sequel to be called The Rest Of It
I totally get that, but.... this was Ellie's movie, not a love story. It was about her coming to terms with herself and taking a "bold stroke." Would it be awesome to see the two of them years later? Definitely, but I feel like this movie ended perfectly. It's just open enough that you can assume Ellie and Aster would reconnect, and she and Paul would retain their friendship. The movie focused perfectly on both Ellie's friendship and romantic loves, but ultimately it was about her. We got that kiss, so I feel satisfied.
The one dislike is the guy who looks like he’s from Riverdale.
i forgot about him already
"if he runs after her TRAIN im gonna CRY"
(2 seconds later, in tears"
"...i knew it"

"Of course, is always the brunette girl reading a book in the corner, to make up for a lack of personality..." damn girl...did you have to come for me like that? 😟
I KNOW RIGHT
Lmao that's accuracte for films
I could physically see your heart stop when he said "I like nazis"
thats why i clutched my heart
i kinda love how quickly paul worked through a lifetime of religious homophobia to support his bff like stan!!!!!
🥺🥺
Moments I related to:
"That's sooooo saphicccc"
"He is like a dumb dog....."
I really liked this movie. My sister didnt, but I think it's because she is young. I told her all of the three characters were lonely, and to me the whole thing about this movie is finding out you are not alone. Being seen and understood. It's not about romance or who will end up with who.
Yessssss! Couldn't have said it any better
I didn't like it either :/ hmm
I guess the movie was too deep for your sissy to make sense of it
@@rie03Tayaku honestly, it can be difficult to understand at times for quite a few people. There aren't a lot of big drama plot points which a lot of people are used to.

“You gotta take you reparations. Make your ancestors proud”. Cindy, as an African born black woman I have never heard anything truer
YESSSS
Okay, but I love how in the end, the real soulmates this movie ended up being about were Ellie and Paul, showing that platonic love is just as important as romantic.
Cindy doesn’t want us to know that she doesn’t actually have the emotional capacity of a frat boy.
I really loved the last scene when Paul runs after Ellie's train, I thought it was a really nice reversal of the trope 😭 I feel like the message I took away from this movie is that a soulmate doesn't have to be someone you end up in a romantic relationship, it can also be your friends who love and accept you for who you are ❤️❤️
EXACTLY!!! UGHHHH IM CRYING
Aida Salaman girl....you’re making me cry I
really hope thats not gonna be my case except if its gonna be a frends with benefits type of friendship
*Cindy literally said "My secret is I'm an Asian Lesbian..."*
She said it
She can't deny it anymore
SHE SAID IT
The foreshadowing was as clear and beautiful as any crystal thats ever formed
The fact that this is such a wholesome and emotional movie......and cindy still found a way to make dirty jokes 😭
i cant rest unless i make a dirty joke every 5 minutes
"This is like when I entered Booktube, and I made all the whites mad." 😂 That line made me pause the video to bust out laughing!!!!! I freaking loved that! I wholeheartedly enjoy watching your videos for these moments. Subscribed!
Glad you enjoyed it!
She’s just iconic
"Look at that himbo, he's such an idiot. But I love him" is one of the only positive things I can think about men in a good movie
you sobbing while calling paul a stupid himbo was my EXACT experience watching this movie
i love that dummy!!!
Same here hahaha
“u mean u failed the bechdel test everytime? that’s a reflection on YOU” made me laugh SO HARD FOR SO LONG
its not THAT hard to not talk about boys
He was just soo innocent. I love how he supported her. The scene where he ran after the car of teens who disrespected her and when he gave her the guitar😍 . Had my hand on my heart for a majority of the movie🥰🥰
I'm crying with laughter over all your himbo jokes, hE'S MY EMOTIONAL SUPPORT CHARACTER OKAY
i joke on him cuz i love him
6:07 is he really a himbo if he actually uses the correct version of 'too/to'???
TRUUUU
My favourite part of this vid is the subtitles cause 90% are right but then you get ‘Jewish trees’ and ‘Pastor no’ lmfao
'when chrome horse was a jin troll' wow the subtitles can speak mandarin too!!1!!!
and i don’t think it’s auto generated which makes it even better
“I’m pretty sure he’s never read a book in his life.” Maybe reading a book will at least give him some semblance of a personality
how dare u, only i can insult him
I like how we all collectively bullied paul at the start and in the end, it turned into no one can bully paul but ellie AND us
YES!! precisely
"OMG HE'S LEARNING HIS ABCs! we love character development" IM DEAD
I came out two days after I watched this movie. There was something about it that compelled me to want to be more of me openly, and it made me finally bite the bullet. Seeing a TH-camr I love to watch, watching/crying to a movie I loved so throughly that it drop kicked me out of the closet was amazing. Thank you for your kindness, wit, and absurdity.
awww im proud of you!!!!

I have a crush on all three main characters, but mostly Paul. When he's being all dumb and adorable on screen, I'm just like "damn it not again, I am NOT turning MORONSEXUAL for this FICTIONAL STRAIGHT BOY."
Thanks to your comment now I have the urge to get a tattoo with the phrase "I am NOT turning MORONSEXUAL for this FICTIONAL STRAIGHT BOY" and I swore I would never get any words tattooed on me.
Screw it. One day in the future, I'm getting a T-shirt with that sentence. It's just so freaking relatable.
Cindy sobbing "he's so dumb" with tears falling down her face is honestly a solid mood.
the bigger he smiled the more i cried

When you said "your lesbian is showing" that felt like a direct attack at me and my thirsting after Leah Lewis after watching this film and immediately following her on instagram
Leah is a queen!!
Taco sausage is the bi representation we all crave
Noooooooo omg 😂😂😂😂
Me too girl me too. That s the best screenplay for a coming out of age movie out there
I hope more coming of age movies will follow this!
NGL, the teacher was literally my spirit animal. Like, she alone stands on the precipice between a sassy queen and supportive queen and we love to see it.
She looked like a Karen but she was one of the good ones
I'm going to play devils advocate and say that I loved how they handled Paul needing time to accept changing his perception of Elly. He was raised in a small town with certain ideals which he had not had to challenge until he met Elly. To expect any 17 year old to suddenly jump without questioning or needing a minute to reflect is unrealistic. He's shown the whole movie that he is caring and accepts Elly for who she is and we know he will figure out. He's a product of his environment, people need time to adjust to new ideas and beliefs and its should be okay to hold space while you figure it out. I think they portrayed a healthy idea of changing beliefs and coming into acceptance. People have their own journeys towards changing a belief system or coming to acceptance and so long as they get there without hurting anyone it should be allowed! It was one of my favourite things about the movie.
Thank you for this! I somewhere related to Paul with the whole homophobic environment ish. I grew up in one, and I remember being 13 and finding out what it means to be gay and my first thought was it must be so "wrong". Thank god! I researched and figured out - it took time. That's why I loved how realistic that part was.
Yes!!
