Review of Rumspringa

Rumspringa (2022)
7/10
Gay tension but ended up being Queerbaiting
13 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This movie was a freaking joke. I still give it 7/10 because of the cute moments between Alf and Jacob. But I mean come on I can't be the only one to see the build up of a gay romance here. The way they looked at each other, Jesus. The way they were dressed. The haircut. And no chemistry with their female partners. The scene in the bathroom, the drug scene, even if it would have been just the ending scene, but no, he kissed him on the cheeks and they added another scene with the woman. I just can't believe it.

And the weird climax with the funeral and the weird clothes and emo make up suddenly was just a strange conclusion. For me it felt like someone wanted to make an lgbtq film and 2/3rds into the movie a different director took over and made a completely different movie.

Could have been the sweetest romance ever but turned into a shallow German cliche. Just sad and yes I am mad 😭
