...it’s a warm and inclusive rom-com that deserves to be seen for its young cast alone.

Traditionel setup. Young love. Queer triangle drama. We have seen it before but Leah Lewis makes it fresh again. What a talent.

This film is executed with integrity and heart and star Lewis never misses a beat. Her sincerity, comic timing, and seeming effortlessness in bringing Ellie Chu to life are a joy to watch.
