I don't often use the word perfect when it comes to a movie but this one comes really close.
This movie is meant to be a lighthearted sapphic romance and it does it's job admirably. You can tell that the writers have spent a lot of time on sapphic Ao3 because they nail every beloved trope perfectly.
The cast is wonderful as well. Auli'i Cravalho is a revelation. I have rarely seen someone representing pining so well Mega Mullaly is hilarious and plays such an amazing mom. Rowan Blanchard does a fine job of playing a gay mess
An especially great thing is that there is zero homophobia in this movie. Not unlike Schitt's Creek queer people here are just allowed to be without having to constantly represent the everyday day they face
Of course this movie is not for anyone. It's meant for the queer community and if you are not part of it a lot of it might go over your head or make you angry(the way several borderline homophobic reviews have already shown).
