Alex Strangelove

Dumb fun. More interesting than Love Simon

I'm still not convinced Alex simply doesn't just have a case of Asperger's. The subject of teen sex is weird and uncomfortable but this film handles it with honesty and tact. Very little stood in the way of this being a good film, but what does is glaringly hokey. The acting is equally hit or miss.

Better humor, and more realistic than Love, Simon, but I preferred the latter’s focus. This film tends to focus a ton on Alex’s relationship with women, as opposed to him finding himself. It works for the most part but drags on a bit too much (although that’s probably the point). Still very enjoyable with great pacing, and solid characters.

This is what I was expecting from 'Love, Simon' and didn't get, so I'm glad I got it from 'Alex Strangelove'.

Ennesimo film per adolescenti con l'etero che si scopre gay. Passabile, ma sul tema in giro c'è molto di meglio
