Naming a gay kid “twinkle” is just begging for a nickname

comedy my ass. there's three scenes from this movie that will be etched into my brain forever, especially the hospital dialogue
loved the control of tone and use of imagery.
falters at the end, i definitely think act 1 could've been a bit faster to provide more time for a stronger ending. also, i feel like twinkle acts a bit too unreasonable in the second act, which could've also helped land the ending. but i'm being picky, for two hours, it is a masterclass in story telling and showing the emotional depth a comedy can have
they really did cook
