    this is a indie modern cult classic that hardly anyone talks about. romance crime movies are a lost art, this film is such a nice addition to the genre. the love story and the world-building were both equally entertaining, and in a lot of the cases a movie excels in either or the other but oftentimes never both.

    majority of the praise i hear about this movie is mostly regarding the visuals or the soundtrack. yea it’s good but the acting is SUPERB. my only qualm is that this movie drags on a bit too long for me. however i do like the idea of this being two movies. the parallels between tyler and emily narratives were interesting to watch. i first watched this movie when i was like 14 but watching it now being the same age as…

    dudeee this movie had issa rae’s influence all over it and i love that very much. i swear keke palmer is on a generational run, her comedic timing is phenomenal. almost all the jokes landed, runtime was perfect, and the acting was great, i was entertained the whole, what more could you ask for in a comedy.

    this film really grew on me. the more i think about it, the more i appreciate its campy charm. it explores gender identity in such a way i’ve hardly seen done, with metaphors and nuance that invite the audience to draw their own interpretations. i actually found myself wishing it was longer— the ending was abrupt and heartbreakingly tragic. the protagonist lives their life miserably and passes away without ever living the life they were meant to. did i mention the use of nostalgic imagery and the angsty score??? this movie has such a unique vibe to it. i gotta rewatch again on a rainy day.
