Follows two colleagues who in different ways struggle with the same issues about their sexuality

As someone within the LGBTQ+ community this was a really frustrating watch.At the start it was a bit sweet, endearing really. Two older men who’s maybe just starting to discover new things about themselves (yay!). Nothing wrong about that and I support.Then as the film goes on it becomes quite clear that the focus is not at all on self-discovery and growth as a person.

Just making up baseless theories and ending with the annoying conclusions

Maybe the film tries to make it feel like it but no. They end up going in circles, discussing identity and emotions with people who either doesn’t support how they feel or focused on the wrong thing.I just wanted to scream at them to stop listening to their idiot partners and other people in their lives and just go talk to someone who knows! Now we just had people with 0 experience with being queer (or different) trying to confident in people with 0 experience as well.

The dialogue is on point and quite entertaining

Never truly understanding and leaving the MCs feeling bad because of it.If this was the point of the film, to just be frustrating and toxic, amazing you managed to do it. But do I feel like they were a good representation of queer people and show a healthy way to handle your emotions? No.

I don’t think that’s okay!

Not at all.If they would have at least added something to show how it goes very bad in the long run and how unhealthy it is, I would have loved it. But now it’s stuck in a gray zone of nothing being solved properly and the characters deem it manageable so they ignore it and move on. The film makes it feel like this is an okay conclusion.

That’s toxicPlease, go talk to professionals

And please don’t be scared to explore your sexual- or gender identity just because the people around you don’t understand it.With love from someone queer <3.
