do you ever just read one-star amazon reviews for the hell of it
like this one-star review for “but i’m a cheerleader” (homophobia warning in case)
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH oh 1-star reviewer you sweet summer child. i was once a teen straight like the heroine of BIAC.
Except for how i realized after actually meeting some queer ladies that i was nothing of the sort and never had been, totally apart from any romantic overtures on their parts.
but sure you can call me a
botanistconvert.
They really did miss the whole point the movie was trying to make. Ugh, l love BIAC so much, it has so much to say about so many things, it’s so multilayered, and it never dips into the unrelenting tragedy that so many queer films have. I like a happy ending, but a happy ending with so much to say about heteronormativity, gay cures, racism, external and internalised homophobia, political polarisation and religion at the same time just makes me all the happier.
