Based on the ads for this movie, I was concerned it was going to be kind of a Hallmark version of a gay romance. My hope was that writer/director Matthew Lopez would live up to his excellent reputation in the theatre. I have seen his complex, wonderful plays, "The Whipping Man" and "The Inheritance," so I thought this story would be a little elementary for him. I was very happy to have all my concerns put aside early on in the movie, and I believe this will go down as one of the great romantic gay movies. I wish I had a movie like this around when I was in my teens and twenties. How lucky the young members of the LGBTQ community are to have this kind of story and representation. Thank you for making something beautiful.
