Thank you Shereen! It’s strange - I have watched this film three times over the past year, and much of my discomfort only made real sense to me on the third viewing as I kept thinking of those moments that are genuine and focusing on those to such a point that I’d forgive a lot of the worst parts of the film. But on that third viewing, it all became so much clearer and the rare good moments were completely drowned out by the awkwardness and the disgust. I think it came with realising that the film really does expect us to fully forgive these characters and to believe that the gay community would too. And that Alex would!
