Objectively the best movie Kevin Smith has made. All of your favorite View Askew actors are present for a story about self reflection, love, and life. Following Holden and Banksy. Holden falls in love with a lesbian who struggles with these emotions. All during a time where things like lesbians and gay people weren’t being represented and because of that this movie kind of comes off as curious as to the whats of whys and how’s of homosexuality. The phases of sexuality people go through. Holden has some beautiful moments of self reflection where you’re left just watching waiting to see how it plays out. Some things before you see a conclusion to any of it can really seem to go either way. The writing is so phenomenal and the actors do such a wonderful job giving you this experience. This is really Kevin Smith at his most vulnerable. You can see it in his writing, his shots, all of it. I can’t say enough good things about this movie. It’s pretty fucking crazy. 10/10 recommend if you haven’t seen it yet. I love this movie to pieces. Always have and always will(:
