A Nice Indian Boy

2024

★★★½ Watched

why did i cry so many times this wasn't even a sad movie, man. queer love just makes me BAWL!!!

i could've spent another hour just watching these two fall in love; i really feel like the first half was so much stronger than the second. the writing sadly kind of got lost in the sauce and became a bit too corny and unnatural. still beautiful, though!

also they couldn't book jonathan groff without the 'let him sing a lil bit' clause, huh?

Kiss the Girls

1997

"I think he's shy. You'll grow to like him."
"What if I grow to hate him?"

whenever i'm having a rough time, my mind always goes back to this film and usually i can't kick the feeling of longing to watch it until i just give in and you know, watch it. there's something so encouraging about that. if i'm suffering, i can just take a minute and think about something that i love so dearly and feel so attached…
