It's such a great film. I still think about it just about every day since seeing it.

the number of things it understands and empathises with about queerness and queer trauma, I don't know, it was just a real big warm hug, and I cried at multiple points

I cried when I saw the trailer, so I was prepared to be wrecked multiple times during the movie. :lol:

And the performances! Holy hell....

I love Mescal and Scott for doing what they did, it's rare that we see such soft and tender love scenes on screen; I don't even know if I've ever seen better

Great version.
I loved it. I just need to see The Insider now but it's never on any streaming services and the Blu-ray is hard to get ahold of.

Great movie too. Saw it when it came out at the theatre. It’s a long movie, very talkative; but great.

I also need a rewatch of that one
