My boyfriend wanted to go see this and I was instantly hesitant because the trailer made it seem to be a Christmas movie and my first instinct was that it would be super corny (like that Billy Eichner movie that came out a month or two ago). I walked out of the theatre sobbing. This the best gay love story that has ever been in a film and one of the most realistic portrayals I've ever seen. There are funny moments, dark moments, heartwarming moments, tearjerking moments. I was never a big Jim Parsons fan before this (I absolutely hate The Big Bang theory) but this performance has converted me to a fan for life. I related to his character on so many levels, from the chronic anxiety, to being in a relationship with someone constantly under the fear they'll leave because your not cool or beautiful like they are, to losing my father at a young and and losing my mother to cancer recently. Even though we all saw the ending coming it left me absolutely devastated and emotionally destroyed in the best way. Don't let the marketing being so Christmas-y throw you off, I definitely wouldn't consider this a holiday film and it's well worth seeing in theaters!
