Good but not great
Very well acted by all involved! Also very well written. The dialogue's fantastic, there's so much subtext, very clever dialogue, and nothing's too obvious, unnatural or over-written.
It's also very stylish. I just couldn't help wondering how it would've turned out if it had been directed by a woman. So many scenes had an unnecessary sexual undertone. Why do men think that's what it's like when two women are together? I would love to see a woman's take on these flawed female characters.
I don't understand how it's considered a comedy for award season. Not comedic in the slightest.
I also find it strange that, when Vili Fualaau has spoken against the film, Todd Haynes has said it's not based on him and his story....when it so obviously is.
But overall it's good! Great performances and script.
