    Just a phenomenal screenplay with twists and turns and laughs and heartbreaking moments. So loud and chaotic then suddenly silent and introspective. Mikey Madison I’ve been a fan since Better Things on FX and i’m so glad she got her praise for this movie. I could watch this movie over and over again. Another year of my favorite movie of the year winning Best Picture

    Just a really perfect movie. So camp, so bitingly funny, and such a heartbreaking romance. Pride and Prejudice reimagined as 5 gay men as the Bennett sisters is truly some of the most inspired screenwriting. Extrapolating wealth in Victorian society to race and body type in gay culture is peak storytelling. These stories really are timeless. Joel Kim Booster the genius you are. This is one of my favorite comfort movies to watch and I’m shocked I haven’t logged it…

But almost a decade later, I get the third act so much more…
