movie notes!
Feb. 26th, 2019 11:20 amAlex Strangelove - on Netflix
This is a cute teen comedy about a boy who is trying to be straight and must eventually accept that he's not. Alex loves his girlfriend, and she wants to have sex. He's trying to work up to doing so. Meanwhile, he meets Elliot, an out gay guy, at a party. The acting and production values are good, and there are some genuinely funny and moving moments. The actor who plays Elliot is also in the YouTube series The Gay and Wondrous life of Caleb Gallo.
This is a teen sex comedy, and has some crude language and embarrassing scenes. I was uncomfortable with the character Dell, who seems to be the sort of person who crosses boundaries and doesn't care. In particular, Dell and his friends use some transmisic language, of the sort that centers identity around penises or lack thereof. He also makes a statement about girls having "ultimate power" over him.
Overall I enjoyed this! Content notes for drug use and vomiting.
The Meg
If you want a silly shark movie with Jason Statham, this is for you. I enjoyed the heck out of it, particularly because there are multiple women who get to do science and cool shit, and they all live to tell about it.
Content notes: human and animal deaths.
