Take Care of Maya (2023)
I am emotionally exhausted
Maybe the most gut-wrenching documentary I have ever watched, I feel like my heart is being ripped out of my chest. I was ugly-crying non stop halfway through until the very last second.
Obviously the fact that this story was documented to the tiniest detail, including all the heartbreaking video and audio recordings and notes made it so muxh harder but portrayed how incredibly serious and real this is. No matter how old you are, where you live, what you do, I seriously think everyone should watch this because Maya and her family deserve to finally be heard and I really hope they'll get justice.
Wednesday (2022)
wednesday deserves the world
Oh i am so utterly obsessed with this show! Wednesday is EVERYTHING! And don't even get me started on her character development because my god did that make me an emotional mess. Love how realistically painfully slow it happened too, it was so bittersweet to watch. The plot twist towards the end, which i was deep down fearing though, stung a tiny bit since i was really into that whole part of the show too and was rooting for wednesday but it's making me even more excited for a second season which is hopefully happening! Special mention to the very likeable characters of edin and eugene and of course thing!! <3.
Heartbreak High (2022)
Better than Sex Education
Absolutely obsessed with this show. It definitely gave me Sex Education vibes but in my opinion it's even better. I could relate to Amerie so well, Ca$h and Darren and Quinnie and Malakai were such amazing and loveable, relatable characters (even if they were frustrating at times, but that's just what made it so much more realistic). Loved the continuous, not really foreseeable storyline between Harper and Amerie, it always kept the plot even more interesting and made it impossible to stop watching. Every single character beought something important to the table and the whole show is just so so up to date and therefore an incredibly good, important remake that touches all the right topics!
Look Both Ways (2022)
I was not expecting this
I was gonna watch this anways. I expected a cute basic cliché Netflix romcom with that Riverdale actress, the kind of new Netflix movie that comes out every few weeks. What I didn't expect is one of the best films Netflix has put out in a while. I was not expecting such an amazing and well-executed plot that's not as obvious and foreseeable as usual. I certainly didn't expect to be a sobbing mess (with a smile on my face though). I was not expecting to get a new favourite feel-good comfort movie that I'll definitely rewatch. I was not expecting to love ALL of these characters so much.
The Broken Hearts Gallery (2020)
My heart can't take thissss
This deserves such a higher rating!!! New favourite comfort-movie ugh this made me feel all kinds of things!! Dacre Montgomery in Stranger Things could punch me in the face and I'd thank him but Dacre Montgomery in this?? Pls marry me ugh screaming crying throwing up he was so smitten with Lucy I can't 😭
Also Geraldine!! Can't wait for her big break she is absolutely incredible!
The Summer I Turned Pretty (2022)
I sobbed like a baby
It's 4am and I just finished binging this show in one night. I am not gonna shut up about this for a while istg i'll tell everyone i talk to about this. The plot, the tropes, this is RIGHT up my alley it's insane. Everything from the summer-house vibe, old childhood friends turned into love-triangle, the friendship between the moms (!!!!!! Oh my GOD), the girl best friend... the list goes on - i'm so obsessed. Belly is me, I am Belly. It's insane how much I relate to her. The volleyball tournament scene AHHHH and oh god how much I cried. The Fourth of July episode already wrecked me out of various reasons but the final episode? Excuse me??? I swear to god I can't remember the last time a show or movie has made me sob like a baby on this level and broke my heart into pieces. I'm happy with the kind of hopeful/happy-ish ending but still. Also, I've had an inner battle going on for a while about whose team I'm on but I think eventually I might actually be Team Jeremiah which is really surprising to me. Oh god I can't stop rambling about this. Anyways, this show is so much better than I expected. I would've been happy with regular clichée teen romance but it's so so much more than that. Haven't read the book but gonna start reading asap tomorrow.
Crush (2022)
So wholesome
This just made me realize I need more wholesome coming of age/high school romance movies without any mean characters in my life! This was so wholesome- such a comforting, happy watch! Really well done, one of my new favourite lgtbq+ movies for sure!
He's All That (2021)
Not as cringey as expected
Not gonna lie, I automatically assumed this movie would suck. I'm weak for any typical clichée teen romance plot but I just thought this would be too cringey. Now almost half a year after it's release I gave in out of desperation because I didn't know what to watch and I have to say it's not any more clichée than any other typical Netflix teen romance. And i've DEFINITELY seen worse acting in their other productions. Addison wasn't as as cringey as I thought and for her first acting role this big I truly think she did a good job!
Fleabag (2016)
Fleabag-Shaped Hole in my heart
Just finished the show and I feel heartbroken and empty and so so sad but also so amazed at how incredible this show was. The fleabag x Priest love story is all I (and especially my Andrew Scott obsession) ever wanted but also made me sob for like an hour i'm physically hurting rn.
Shiva Baby (2020)
Straight to my "All time favourites" list
Absolutely excellent, this movie is art. Brilliant acting and set, the music is phenomenal and adds even more thrill to the scenes where you already have to hold your breath for a second.
Amazing from the first second to the last, I don't know what else to say!
It's a Sin (2021)
Painfully heartbreaking and so so brilliant & important
I knew anything with Olly Alexander in it was gonna be amazing but this was even better than I could've ever imagined. So funny, heartwarming and fun, yet one of the most painfully heartbreaking and tragic shows I have ever seem. Absolutely brilliant cast, cinematography and music.
As an LGTBQ+ ally this was really educating and important. Shows like this have such a huge impact, it inspired me to once again educate myself more on AIDS and where to donate. Really hoping this reaches a lot more people and hearts because these things really make such a difference.
