I loved your reaction, soo funny!! I don't remember hoy many times I've watched triste movie, but I felt that this two guys are amazing, the chemistry is from other World, and you always feel that Henry and Alex are there by real. Nick is sooo good! He doesn't need to say a Word to show the struggles Henry goes through. Taylor is increíble With the astonishment in his face when Henry kissed him
REAL- i adore nicholas galitzine and after my fourteenth watch of this movie (this one was my nineteenth), i decided im going to watch everything he’s been in because he is an astonishingly amazing actor.
" 'The book is always better' is kind of bullshit" "And I am here for the very special thrill that you get from watching two hot people fall in love. I'm not ABOVE that." "I am not afraid of cringe. You think I'm not gonna enjoy something because people call it cringey. No- in fact I will enjoy it EVEN HARDER. Out of SPITE" This is why Daria is The Only commentary youtuber
nicholas really understood his assignment with henry, from the way he delivered his lines and the subtle facial and eye expressions and just EVERYTHING. it was so nice to see him portrayed so perfectly as an individual after reading the book and seeing him only through alex's eyes (even though that was cute as hell because alex is just so fricking in love with him it makes me sick)
I would like to draw attention (29:41) to the fact that during the filming of the fight scene in Kensington, director Matthew Lopez stated in a behind-the-scenes interview that he was taken aback when, after taking lunch break for the scene, Taylor actually began crying when the camera started rolling again. When Nick heard this, he began crying as well, which startled and perplexed him and made him hesitate to cut most of that scene because it is so good.
Stephen Fry, who plays the king, is very famously a gay, anti-monarchy, anti-church actor, presenter and writer from the UK, so the casting is poignant and his acting choices are particularly hilarious. The way he reluctantly says “homo..SEKsual” makes me giggle every time. I also read his interpretation of the character like someone who has had “some experience” in “leaning this way” during a time that was a lot less open minded. He 1. knew Henry was gay and hinted at it before (realist etc) 2. He said he wants to “protect” Henry from the press, he isn’t denying that Henry is gay 3. In fact, he’s affirming that he considers their love to be genuine 4. I doubt a prude homophobe elderly royal would have managed to read ALL of their “occasionally vulgar” emails, and would instead have asked for a summary or something 5. He gets irritated when the brother interrupts him to minimise the relationship by calling it an “infatuation” 6. When Henry wants to go outside he doesn’t try to forbid it, he says “are you sure that’s what you want?” Like a realist, but also like a protective person who may be a bit antiquated but who still gets it, like “once you do that I won’t be able to protect you” kinda thing. I just think that this is so much nicer as a concept than the queen being forced to allow it.
I agree on everything you said about the king - I also perceived his character in that way which i found really interesting, making this scene not only about Henry coming out, but also actively unknowingly breaking generational trauma. How many queer royals, like his grandfather supposedly, had to stay in the closed in order to "protect" the "traditional royal image"? so the read on the scene is not that the king was just another straight homophobe suffocating a queer youth, but a queer man, dealing with internalized homophobia because he was well, in his youth, was forced into the closet by his circumstances, and since he didn't get a way out, he believes that there is no way out for generations of royal offspring to come as well.
I also think that it makes a huge difference that the director is queer because all those visual and verbal and cinematic dick joke choices that made us go “oh my” - I highly doubt a straight director would have had the mind to include them in such a subtle fun way, it would have been either too blunt or evasive, I think. And that sensual sex scene was so beautiful, and I once again think that this makes a difference. I also think that the increased importance of the role of intimacy coordinators has managed to vastly improve the chemistry on screen between actors we’ve been allowed to watch in the past few years and I’m the opposite of mad about it. This movie is a prime example for sure
The way the King “homosexual” will be a classic. My understanding is the actor who played Phillip is openly gay. If so, the tow homophobes were actually queer IRL. Great 4th wall easter egg.
"grandpapa, don't let the homosexual go outside!" in that voice was the funniest thing i've heard all month. absolutely adored this review, you have such wonderful, passionate, fun energy 🫶
Your reaction was such a joy to watch. Thank you! A note: your love of the lake scene and their relaxed closeness is cool because I read that the director and intimacy coordinator (Robbie Taylor Hunt) agreed that he wasn't needed on set for that scene because the actors were comfortable enough with each other that they thought they could fly solo, so to speak, for that scene.
I went into this movie having not read the book, and I had very low expectations for it. However, I saw people start posting reactions to it, and I decided to watch it for myself before I watched any reactions. Watching the movie as my first time experiencing the story, I really loved it. It exceeded my expectations enough that I decided to also read the book. While there are things that I wish they had included in the movie (June, Rafael Luna, more emails, etc.), I really love how the movie ended up. Also, watching Taylor and Nicholas make out for 2 hours is a definite plus 😂 The movie had everything I could want - love, comedy, queer characters with a happy ending, amazing acting, supportive parents and friends, etc etc. It is definitely one of my favorite movies now!

Why is this the lastest reaction but the best reaction of RWRB already? You ATE thatttt
From what I saw online, NOBODY expected this movie to be good in any sense. But I think pretty much everyone found it to be a little gem, myself included. As I've gotten older, I've really come to appreciate movies for what they are. I could point out the amazing aspects but this movie clearly went for a charming, fun, & sweet LGBT+ romcom and it SUCCEEDED! I haven't read the book but I heard that they danced to Your Song by Elton John. LISTEN...if they used that song, this would've been my favorite romcom EVER! That song is criminally underused and I've been obsessed with it since Moulin Rouge ❤❤❤
No f* way! I would have died if they'd used that song My god that would have been the definition of PERFECT. A dream come true with that song... Omg why didn't they?!?!
I love your reaction! It’s a breath of fresh air to see fans of the book really enjoying the movie for what it is and not just picking it apart and comparing to the book. Both are great in their own ways and co exist beautifully
I don't know if you heard but they've just announced yesterday night that Amazon has greenlit a sequel to this movie with the same actors, and writer(Including Casey herself, co-writing)❤️❤️❤️
As a book AND movie fan who absolutely loves both I was dying watching your reaction because it was basically me. I lost my mind over “History, huh?” and “Baby” being in the movie and so many other things and probably was also saying “this is craaaazzyyy” in my head the whole time watching it. Nick and Taylor killed it. Matthew delivered. 10/10 no notes. I actually don’t know if a miniseries would’ve worked, as much as I’d love to see more it might have taken the air out of the whole thing. I do want to see all the deleted scenes released, though. (Prime stop gatekeeping!) And sequel, when?
The discussions pro and con about the movie vs. the book has got me looking at Pride & Prejudice. First of all, because P&P is so good, fans have several adaptations to choose from - or just enjoy all for each of their strong and weak points. Text is great at descriptions, explaining things, and also giving us windows into the minds of the character. Movies are so powerful in expressing emotions, particularly when the actors are so gifted in RWRB. Every time I watch it again - and again and again - I notice new things like a raised eyebrow, a tightening of the jaw, where the eyes look. And as in this movie, the incidental music was so well fitted to the scenes, like how it swells when the two first kiss, and then again in the red room. Or the way it makes Alex really seem nervous but in a gawky way in the red room awaiting Henry.
Loved your reaction, great that we still get people posting their reaction. Just a little tidbit, the scene in Paris where Alex helps Henry out of his shirt before the love scene? That was improv. Nick had trouble with the buttons, so Taylor jumped in helping him and saying “Rigid”. Also the scene after the V& A museum where they are both in bed, Alex holding Henry’s wrist while spooning him, as to prevent Henry from leaving him again, that scene was not in the script, but they decided to do it, because it fit. Hope you’ll be doing a react for the deleted scenes too. And Yes the “for Kristy” is for Taylor’s eldest sister, she died of stage 4 colorectal cancer in June.
I will never be free of this movie. I thought i was done watching all the reaction videos I could find and wanted to try to break free from the shackles after four months but alas. I'm a weak weak woman and caved. I couldn't not watch it video. Damn you
I read the book in 2020 during Covid and it was such a joy to read. Watching the movie was such a great movie I watched it like 4 times cause it was so fun, sweet and great is it the perfect movie? No. But the actors had so much chemistry that they nailed it.
I've been waiting with my fingers crossed that you would react to this. It's literally just a rom com but it was so freakin crazy. I love a good romcom as much as the next hopeless romantic but something about this one hit all of the right notes perfectly.
Just some tidbits to make it even better: the car Henry is driving is from a Bond movie, which is a nod to Arthur Fox. Your fave scene, where they’re on the float/deck? The actors did that scene on their own, w/o help from the intimacy co-ordinator. If you look close at the scene where Henry is waking up to the emails being leaked, you can see the chain for Alex’s key around his neck. Just some little fun things to make the awesome even better!
The way you brought me right back to that moment in august when i watched it, and all those giddy feelings i had. I was just grinning throughout the movie, and now again watching your reactions, thank you😭🥺
I watched the movie before I read the book and I like the movie more, love it so much. The book isn't bad in any way, I just like movie Alex so much more. I'm certifiably old, so that might be the reason I think the guys come off as too juvenile in the book, especially Alex. So much drama and yelling. Loved your reaction, recognized my own first watch in so many ways. Good job ❤❤❤
I loved this movie so much it made me read the book immediately. Then, I watched every reaction I could find and am still watching. Next up is the audiobook plus the book in tandem. I'm late, so late, to this bandwagon. But I'm here and I cry every single time. Absolutely obsessed. And all the MM books I've been reading this year have just been the perfect prep for me to fall for RWRB. Subscribed, off this reaction alone.
I loved this review so much!! I’ve watched so many since the movie came out cause the movie makes me so happy and watching other people fall in love with it as much as I did is so much fun. That said, I don’t think I seen a review with someone loving the book as much as I did going into it. So many people went in blind which is cute and fun to watch, but it was so fun watching it with you when you knew about “baby” and Ellen’s power points and all of that! It just adds so much to it seeing how much joy you got from all the Easter eggs from the book that go over people’s heads who haven’t read it! Easily my favorite rewatch. This was so cute! Now you have to go watch the deleted scenes they’ve put out!!
I did not read the book before watching the movie, and I have to say that I fell IN LOVE with the story... it was so well written and put together and really pulls on the heart strings. I’ve been obsessed with it and recently got the book to actually read for myself. It’s a classic rom-com that just checks EVERY BOX
Great reaction, a pleasure to watch with you. We now have two worthy iterations of the story - the book and movie. It does piss me off that many reviewers diminish this film because it's a romcom and therefore beneath admiration. I believe the movie deserves multiple nominations in the award season. btw, the cornetto scene and others are on line as outtakes.
I love your commentary on adaptations, as long as the spirit of the book is there and its good enough to stand on its own as a piece of work, it works for me
I'm a bisexual woman, and this movie came out on the second anniversary of my breakup with an abusive homophobe ex... I'm so happy this movie exists, and while I probably would have loved it if it had come out on any other day, I so glad I can officially and justifiably make watching this movie part of the annual healing tradition.💗💜💙
I'll be honest, I didn't expect much from this movie. I loved the book and was excited at the idea of an adaptation, but I wasn't familiar with the leads (I didn't realize until after watching RWRB that I actually had seen a couple of Nick's films in the past. He looks so different in each of his movies I didn't even recognize him lol). I was wrong to doubt this movie and I couldn't be happier about that! This has quickly become my favorite comfort movie. And I love seeing people who aren't into romcoms or who didn't read the book still enjoy the film. There were a lot of changes made for the movie but the director, actors, and everyone involved somehow managed to perfectly capture the spirit and energy of the book. To me, that's much more important than it matching the book perfectly.
The scene after the V&A where Alex has hold of Henry's wrist was the best. It showed that Henry had lost the last piece of armor covering his heart and it was replaced by Alex. Alex proved he would always be there to protect Henry so no need for the armor anymore.
This movie was fantastic and everything that can be said about it has been, but I just gotta say that I love that Alex's parents are still together in this version. As someone with a Latino dad and a white mom it was great to see them still happy together. Also...as a queer woman, I have adored Sarah Shahi since the L Word so seeing her in this, along with Clifton Collins Jr who I've loved since I was a kid, was the best lil bonus.
I love this movie!!! I have watched it 4 times in 1 day and I cannot stop. The book and the movie are great. The chemistry between Taylor and Nick is off the charts!!! I laughed, I cried. Everytime I watch it I see more details and nuances that I missed. The love making scene was perfection!!! Never seen anything like that before. I have now seen it 47 times, I am not kidding! It just gets better and better!!! my new comfort movie Also have prime now for a whole year only for this movie🥰
I also agree that this should be a mini series. I watched the movie before reading daily before ordering the book. I like book and the movie equally although I’ve watched the movie more than a dozen times I’ve only read the book six times. I also find myself researching the places and some of the pieces of art such as Tipu’s Tiger mentioned in the book, and many of the quotes from Hamilton and others. Enjoyed watching your take on the movie.
I loved your insightful and expressive reaction and commentary, with so many great comparisons between book and film. You're so right that the intimacy of the Paris sex scene is powerful and unique in its feeling, and makes the viewer a little shy about looking.
Loved this movie! I’ve definitely rewatched a couple times since it’s been released and it gets better every time. Also did you see the cornetto scene? Amazon released it as a deleted scene ❤
this review made me so happy, it felt like i was watching the movie for the first time all over again. i definitely agree with everything you said about the movie, and in comparison to the book. if i had to pick only one format to recommend, though, it would still be the book. there's so much there and it's all so good. still, obsessed with the movie and will be going back to this video when i need a smile
Adoro questo film, ho letto il libro poco prima di vedere il film, e credo Matthew abbia fatto un ottimo lavoro ... tutto il cast è fantastico, ma Nicholas e Taylor sono meravigliosi insieme!!! Io sono totalmente innamorata di Nicholas ❤❤❤
My sister from another mister! Ok, more like “my granddaughter from??” 😁 Loved your reaction & obviously I agree with everything you said. I read a lot of m/m romance & knew about RWRB, but hadn’t read it yet. But when I saw the trailer (about a week & a half before the movie dropped), I HAD to read it. So, “technically” I read the book before seeing the movie. I liked the book (started rereading it immediately upon finishing it), but I LOVED the movie. In fact, I’m now going to rewatch it for the… 23rd time?? Thanks for making me laugh & enjoy this film yet again. ❤
I just watched your reaction. I am someone who has watched the movie hundreds of times read the book twice and listened to the book once. There is so much now available on UA-cam, including the deleted scenes you’re wanting. Also, there is an interview with Robbie Taylor Hunt who was the intimacy coordinator on the film which you would find interesting.
Thank you for sharing your reaction. Since you did this one months ago, would love to see you watch it a second time now that you have had time for it to sink in.
You’ve probably already seen it upon rewatching but you missed the close up shots of Henry’s butt on the horse because just then you had your eyes up reacting to them hooking up haha
So great to hear from a fan of the book who also likes the movie! When the movie first came out, there were so many knee-jerk reactions from book fans absolutely trashing the movie. And I get it - I had reread the book twice just before watching the movie, and as a result the film felt a little flat to me on first viewing. My second viewing was a much better experience, and now I think RWRB is the swooniest fairytale romance ❤️🤍💙
I love this reaction so much, I kept replaying it. I love watching someone get so excited to something I love. I'm glad you have fun watching RWRB. Will you post a reaction for the deleted scenes? I hope you do. I'm so glad I saw this video. It made my day.
39:38 literally me every 2 seconds of the movie, sobbing, crying, throwing up i CANT. ITS GLORIOUS AND SO SOFT AND PERFECT AND PERFECT AND GORGEOUS AND ROMANTIC AND LOVELY
First, your review was amazing because your reactions were basically identical to mine 😂 Second you are so effing beautiful, I seriously couldn’t even taken my eyes off you the whole time!
I loved watching your reaction to this film. Sometimes fans of the book have a hard time getting into the movie adaptation of things and watching it as a fan would (feeling the need to criticize everything because it’s not exactly as the book did it.) I genuinely enjoyed watching your excitement throughout the film, and it reflected my own sentiments as well. ❤️
I've been trying to learn korean for years on and off because it's my father's language and he still speaks it fluently even after so long and I only know a couple phrases by heart because of what I learned when I was younger and a few more from kpop but I don't know how to speak it fluently, understand when another is speaking korean at me, and read/write korean/understand what I'm reading/writing in korean so I've been looking into ways to do that
this video was filmed during the writers’ and actors’ strike! congrats to all the strikers on their hard-won contract :)
Oh my god!! Girl!!
I just find you and loved your energy and reaction!
And didn't know you are Persian!!!
موفق باشی عزیزم.
I loved your reaction, soo funny!!
I don't remember hoy many times I've watched triste movie, but I felt that this two guys are amazing, the chemistry is from other World, and you always feel that Henry and Alex are there by real. Nick is sooo good! He doesn't need to say a Word to show the struggles Henry goes through. Taylor is increíble With the astonishment in his face when Henry kissed him
The guy who plays the prince is acting like the rent is due. Didnt think I'd see such a fantastic performance in this film.
REAL- i adore nicholas galitzine and after my fourteenth watch of this movie (this one was my nineteenth), i decided im going to watch everything he’s been in because he is an astonishingly amazing actor.
"I keep calling this movie crazy and literally all it is is a romcom." YOU'RE SO REAL FOR THAT THO
"We won."
"We won."
"I won too because this movie was so good." 😂😂😂
" 'The book is always better' is kind of bullshit"
"And I am here for the very special thrill that you get from watching two hot people fall in love. I'm not ABOVE that."
"I am not afraid of cringe. You think I'm not gonna enjoy something because people call it cringey. No- in fact I will enjoy it EVEN HARDER. Out of SPITE"

It's Alex's story, that's why it's in his pov.

When Nick heard this, he began crying as well, which startled and perplexed him and made him hesitate to cut most of that scene because it is so good.
I love how you use your fan like a flabbergasted victorian lady 🤣
I love that there are still videos dropping talking about RWRB. I've been suffering withdrawal and now I'm feeling warm and cozy again ❤❤❤
You said it perfectly. Suffering withdrawals.
i'm more than happy to help you through this difficult process 😌
@@FullofLit It was a really nice Christmas present, thank you 😊

I loved this movie so much it made me read the book immediately. Then, I watched every reaction I could find and am still watching. Next up is the audiobook plus the book in tandem. I'm late, so late, to this bandwagon. But I'm here and I cry every single time. Absolutely obsessed. And all the MM books I've been reading this year have just been the perfect prep for me to fall for RWRB. Subscribed, off this reaction alone.
I loved this review so much!! I’ve watched so many since the movie came out cause the movie makes me so happy and watching other people fall in love with it as much as I did is so much fun. That said, I don’t think I seen a review with someone loving the book as much as I did going into it. So many people went in blind which is cute and fun to watch, but it was so fun watching it with you when you knew about “baby” and Ellen’s power points and all of that! It just adds so much to it seeing how much joy you got from all the Easter eggs from the book that go over people’s heads who haven’t read it! Easily my favorite rewatch. This was so cute! Now you have to go watch the deleted scenes they’ve put out!!
I love the fact that when Alex gets the ring he plays with it the same way Henry does
I did not read the book before watching the movie, and I have to say that I fell IN LOVE with the story... it was so well written and put together and really pulls on the heart strings. I’ve been obsessed with it and recently got the book to actually read for myself. It’s a classic rom-com that just checks EVERY BOX
I've been on a kick of watching reactions to this movie. Your joy and energy is infectious
when alex does the "vicky" move, she literally pauses the movie to call him embarrassing.. while twirling her hair. (she's just like me fr)
The first time I'm watching a book reader's reaction to this and I liiiiiived! You're everything 🤌
Great reaction, a pleasure to watch with you. We now have two worthy iterations of the story - the book and movie. It does piss me off that many reviewers diminish this film because it's a romcom and therefore beneath admiration. I believe the movie deserves multiple nominations in the award season. btw, the cornetto scene and others are on line as outtakes.
I love your commentary on adaptations, as long as the spirit of the book is there and its good enough to stand on its own as a piece of work, it works for me
I'm a bisexual woman, and this movie came out on the second anniversary of my breakup with an abusive homophobe ex... I'm so happy this movie exists, and while I probably would have loved it if it had come out on any other day, I so glad I can officially and justifiably make watching this movie part of the annual healing tradition.💗💜💙
I'll be honest, I didn't expect much from this movie. I loved the book and was excited at the idea of an adaptation, but I wasn't familiar with the leads (I didn't realize until after watching RWRB that I actually had seen a couple of Nick's films in the past. He looks so different in each of his movies I didn't even recognize him lol). I was wrong to doubt this movie and I couldn't be happier about that! This has quickly become my favorite comfort movie. And I love seeing people who aren't into romcoms or who didn't read the book still enjoy the film. There were a lot of changes made for the movie but the director, actors, and everyone involved somehow managed to perfectly capture the spirit and energy of the book. To me, that's much more important than it matching the book perfectly.
Let's hope for a sequel!
The scene after the V&A where Alex has hold of Henry's wrist was the best. It showed that Henry had lost the last piece of armor covering his heart and it was replaced by Alex. Alex proved he would always be there to protect Henry so no need for the armor anymore.
This movie was fantastic and everything that can be said about it has been, but I just gotta say that I love that Alex's parents are still together in this version. As someone with a Latino dad and a white mom it was great to see them still happy together.
Also...as a queer woman, I have adored Sarah Shahi since the L Word so seeing her in this, along with Clifton Collins Jr who I've loved since I was a kid, was the best lil bonus.
Girllll. The moment u said your parents' language is farsi I started screaming. Nice to see a fellow persian_book/movie lover.
❤
I love this movie!!! I have watched it 4 times in 1 day and I cannot stop. The book and the movie are great. The chemistry between Taylor and Nick is off the charts!!! I laughed, I cried. Everytime I watch it I see more details and nuances that I missed. The love making scene was perfection!!! Never seen anything like that before.
I have now seen it 47 times, I am not kidding! It just gets better and better!!! my new comfort movie
Also have prime now for a whole year only for this movie🥰
I’ve been on a reread/rewatch kick of RWRB for the past few weeks. And yours might be one of the favorite reactions I’ve watched. ❤
I also agree that this should be a mini series. I watched the movie before reading daily before ordering the book. I like book and the movie equally although I’ve watched the movie more than a dozen times I’ve only read the book six times. I also find myself researching the places and some of the pieces of art such as Tipu’s Tiger mentioned in the book, and many of the quotes from Hamilton and others. Enjoyed watching your take on the movie.
Great reaction ❤ this film so much I think Taylor puts in such as good a performance as Nicholas the chemistry is off the scale
I loved your insightful and expressive reaction and commentary, with so many great comparisons between book and film. You're so right that the intimacy of the Paris sex scene is powerful and unique in its feeling, and makes the viewer a little shy about looking.
Loved this movie! I’ve definitely rewatched a couple times since it’s been released and it gets better every time. Also did you see the cornetto scene? Amazon released it as a deleted scene ❤
i did see it as well as the campfire scene and they were PERFECT
you're so pretty by the way wow!!!
thank you so much 🥰
@@FullofLitwe need a make-up video! Its so flawless & elegant!
this review made me so happy, it felt like i was watching the movie for the first time all over again. i definitely agree with everything you said about the movie, and in comparison to the book. if i had to pick only one format to recommend, though, it would still be the book. there's so much there and it's all so good. still, obsessed with the movie and will be going back to this video when i need a smile
Also YES, it IS CRAZY, DARIA!!!
Adoro questo film, ho letto il libro poco prima di vedere il film, e credo Matthew abbia fatto un ottimo lavoro ... tutto il cast è fantastico, ma Nicholas e Taylor sono meravigliosi insieme!!!
Io sono totalmente innamorata di Nicholas ❤❤❤
My sister from another mister! Ok, more like “my granddaughter from??” 😁 Loved your reaction & obviously I agree with everything you said. I read a lot of m/m romance & knew about RWRB, but hadn’t read it yet. But when I saw the trailer (about a week & a half before the movie dropped), I HAD to read it. So, “technically” I read the book before seeing the movie. I liked the book (started rereading it immediately upon finishing it), but I LOVED the movie. In fact, I’m now going to rewatch it for the… 23rd time?? Thanks for making me laugh & enjoy this film yet again. ❤
they did release the DELETED Cornetto and the campfire scene. do react to it, they are AMAZING.
I just watched your reaction. I am someone who has watched the movie hundreds of times read the book twice and listened to the book once. There is so much now available on UA-cam, including the deleted scenes you’re wanting. Also, there is an interview with Robbie Taylor Hunt who was the intimacy coordinator on the film which you would find interesting.
I love the review and thank you for your service but the really question is where did you get that Prince Eric shirt??? I need it! 😂
your reactions were sooo real and relatable!! you should also react to the deleted scenes and the bloopers 👀
Best reaction ever😂
Loved it!!❤
I agree ,this move is beyond fantastic .
This is one of my favorite reactions to this movie.
you had me at "ran the whole gambit" 😂 Queen, slay!
Just watched your reaction! And now its going to have a sequel! Its already confirmed 😍
you should definitely react to the deleted scenes!
Thank you for sharing your reaction. Since you did this one months ago, would love to see you watch it a second time now that you have had time for it to sink in.
loved your reaction and extra like for the outfit change lol
I ate this film up the two leads amazing.
You’ve probably already seen it upon rewatching but you missed the close up shots of Henry’s butt on the horse because just then you had your eyes up reacting to them hooking up haha
that intro, sis!!! spitting facts
02:43 so true❤ enjoy your time
This was amazing!! I am so with you on the "just wanting to have a good time" I am a book fan and also loved it
OMG babe! You and your reactions are HILARIOUS & spot on! Love it! 😂
i think this is probably the best reaction ive watched i felt the exact same way girl 😭😭
One of the best reactions I have seen! And I agree it should have been a mini series. I wish we could get a directors cut.
So great to hear from a fan of the book who also likes the movie! When the movie first came out, there were so many knee-jerk reactions from book fans absolutely trashing the movie. And I get it - I had reread the book twice just before watching the movie, and as a result the film felt a little flat to me on first viewing. My second viewing was a much better experience, and now I think RWRB is the swooniest fairytale romance ❤️🤍💙
Your reaction to this was pure joy and so much fun to watch!
I love this reaction so much, I kept replaying it. I love watching someone get so excited to something I love. I'm glad you have fun watching RWRB. Will you post a reaction for the deleted scenes? I hope you do. I'm so glad I saw this video. It made my day.
New to your channel and loved your reaction. Cause I freeked out so mutch as well
First 3 min .... Amen sister 🙌🙌
39:38 literally me every 2 seconds of the movie, sobbing, crying, throwing up i CANT. ITS GLORIOUS AND SO SOFT AND PERFECT AND PERFECT AND GORGEOUS AND ROMANTIC AND LOVELY
girl I MISSED you
I know the Vicky bit is mad cringe, but it became an emblematic punchline in my group
It was great to see you react to this movie... Could you react to the Heartstopper series? I assure you that you will love her
First, your review was amazing because your reactions were basically identical to mine 😂
Second you are so effing beautiful, I seriously couldn’t even taken my eyes off you the whole time!
that opening is what made me sub girl
I loved watching your reaction to this film. Sometimes fans of the book have a hard time getting into the movie adaptation of things and watching it as a fan would (feeling the need to criticize everything because it’s not exactly as the book did it.) I genuinely enjoyed watching your excitement throughout the film, and it reflected my own sentiments as well. ❤️
I've been trying to learn korean for years on and off because it's my father's language and he still speaks it fluently even after so long and I only know a couple phrases by heart because of what I learned when I was younger and a few more from kpop but I don't know how to speak it fluently, understand when another is speaking korean at me, and read/write korean/understand what I'm reading/writing in korean so I've been looking into ways to do that
wait but can we get a little commotion for the shirt???? sister where buy? don't gatekeep us!
ARE YOU PERSIAN??? OH MY GOD I DID NOT KNOW I AM PERSIAN TOO 😭 i’d love to see you speaking farsi
You get a subscribe for your opening monologue.
Watching you being so gagged by this movie is hilarious
