I love hearing what people are into and love the rare moments when queer storylines are so visceral and true to life that you can tell queer people were behind them. Even better when they're not relegated to subtext, though I'll take a visceral and real subtext plot over cheap tokenism any day.

What was the storyline? How did it fit into the overarching narrative of the piece? What did you like about it? Is there anything you'd change?

      I absolutely adore that movie, it's a sapphic classic for a reason! Natasha Lyonne and Clea Duvall do such an amazing job in it, it's wild to see them in that towards the beginning of their careers and compare to now lol.

      I saw it for the first time on New Years Eve going into 2020 after getting hot pot with my wife and some friends, so it's like cemented in my brain as one of the last normal date nights I can remember having lmao

        what other films have Natasha Lyonne and Clea Duvall been in that you recommend? They were both so good I'd love to see more of their performances.

          Natasha Lyonne's most notable recent roles are television — Nicky in Orange is the New Black and Nadia in Russian Doll. I think she's also in The United States vs. Billie Holiday but I haven't seen that one yet. I know Clea Duvall has been in a lot of other stuff (I wanna say Veep?) but mostly I recognize her from a guest part on Broad City, and from directing The Happiest Season
