Anne+

This film is pretty alright. It's not bad but it's not fantastic either.

It's honestly a mediocre movie but it's certainly nice to see more queer movies and see representation.

The production quality is pretty average, the soundtrack is nothing wild and the writing, at some times, lack. The characters worked. The plot was sometimes too eventful and at other times too uneventful. I would also have liked to have heard a little more about the book Anne is writing.

Note: I have not seen the show this is based on(?) and I watched the english dub. Mostly because I do not enjoy listening to the Dutch language.

Anne+ continues its journey where it left of in the series. Anne is writing and wants to publish a book. She and her girlfriend Sara are in an poly relationship after discussing this together and Sara will move to Montreal for her dream job. Anne wants to move there as well, but only after she finishes her book until then she is still living in Amsterdam.

The movie touches on subjects such as gender, sexuality, lust and friendship among others. Furthermore it also dives into Anne's own identity, her (in)ability to communicate, how she deals with her past, present and future and the decisions she has to make now she's paving her own way into adulthood.

I personally enjoyed the series and enjoyed this film as well. The acting is decent and similar to the series. The dialogues never become dull or stale. Anne's exploration of her own sexuality is somewhat relatable. I did find that the sex scenes were a bit more explicit than the series and while I'm in no way a prude, one particular scene kind of took me out of the film as it did not really add too much to the overall story other than a confirmation of a feeling she has (I won't spoil). The ending is somewhat predictable but satisfying.

Tldr: If you liked the series you should watch it.

A touching tale of young queer love and the complications that come along with it. Very casual feel to the movie, feels like watching people you may know.

Lovely seeing contemporary Amsterdam on screen! It is beautifully captured. Hannah did a great perforamce & love Lou!!

Must see if you're a fan of the series.

Bring this to netflix please!!

I really enjoyed the series of Anne+ and the movie has a very similar style, content and humour. Anne feels very relatable, the acting is good and I laughed out loud quite a few times. It shows sexuality in a very natural way and discusses generational differences on certain topics as gender identity. Al in all, I really enjoyed this movie!

I liked this film, it was deep, delicate and it treated an important phase in the life of a young person - first serious and painful break up, and moving on. I really find it quite relatable - especially the doubts, uncertainty, second-guessing and, above all, lack of mature communication, inherited from the characters' up-bringing. The main character luckily finds out her own flows before it has got too late. What she thought was a misfortune, turned out to be a path to self-growth.

The relationships are not easy, both for hetero and queer people. After the first enjoyment, and having a good time, it is really difficult to find another person who will really let us be our true self. Before that, we will break many hearts, and our heart will be broken many time. This is a subtle message of this film, where I appreciate the acting, which is magnificent, but also a story, which is pretty flowless. Good job and waiting for continuation!
