    I didn't watch this for the longest time. I'm generally not a Roma con kinda guy. I also am often disappointed in gay movies. Bad acting, low budget etc or just obviously NOT written by gay writers. Mainstream movies that have gay or LGBT characters are getting better but, still have a long way to go. I decided to give this a try and was very, very surprised. I really, REALLY enjoyed it. Like other comments I've seen, I feel its a shame there wasn't budget and backing for a limited series to take more time developing their relationship but, even still it was an amazing story. Great chemistry between the leads. The sex scenes were beautiful,and romantic not just a token bit of skin. The best part was, at no time did anyone seem like the stereotypes so often portrayed. Just guys who fell in love.

    There are so many reaction videos on UA-cam for this film, but I think this is my favourite because it reflects how I feel.
    There are lots of LGBTQ+ films, but most are aimed at a niche market. This is the first film I've seen that's mainstream, and not afraid to show intimacy between a same sex couple. IMO other films feel forced and awkward, or things seem rationed / measured to meet some quota or another. However, this film is different... AT LONG LAST! There's a chemistry between the two leads that's so natural. It's such a shame this is happening at a time when bigotry and hate are on the increase...

    Thank you ever so much for what I feel is the sweetest first reaction video of this movie, which is truly changing my being.
    Your sincere reaction is welcome and heartwarming, and I'm so glad that like me, you had not read the book, and did not make any unreasonable expectations for what you were going to see.
    Matthew Lopez, the director, I think said it best, that Casey's book is Casey's book, and he was making *his* movie. I would say that now, it is OUR movie, those of us who love it.
    At this point I have also taken in the book, and I believe they are both good in their own ways; neither one "better." This movie though, is having such an amazingly positive effect on my life that I am just buoyant, I find myself more optimistic in just about every way, and I hope that more will experience it.
    Love wins!

      (I also realize that I may have made my original comment sound preachy regarding hooking-up.)
      I have nothing against it! God knows! You-do-you, etc.
      And I most certainly have been no saint in my time, and with few regrets; but I simply thought it made for a welcome change to see a portrayal where, in addition to wanting to rip someone’s clothes off, there was genuine affection as well. As fairy-tail-ish (pun) and even unrealistic as transatlantic flights to get your man may be, it was so well done.
      Seeing two beautiful and sexy young men falling in love made me happier than I can say.

    I hope you read the book. I read it prior to the movie. I love both, but the book stole my heart … because its so well written, because I love the two leads so much, and just cause! My favorite line “my family who … loves in defiance of expectation and condemnation”.

    I'm reading the novel, just got to where Alex clearly indicated he's in love but gets ghosted by Henry, the film is definitely an improvement on the book. I happily watch the film daily but the book is taking time to get through.

    One of my favorite moments (among dozens) is when Alex is flying back to England to fix the mess. Amy is quizzing him and he brings up the issue of why anyone would name their dog David. She says her dog is named Jonathan. Alex remarks "yeah, that is the only thing weird about you." She said that that is her son they are talking about. Alex and she quickly shift to discussing how cute her dog is and he says eagerly that he wants to see photos. Most people are bored by such pictures but he makes it clear in that brief moment that he cares about other people's feelings. (I love Amy.)
    Also in the hospital, she opens the door of the closet and says the threat had been neutralized. Alex asks what does she mean. She says "good thing he is in a hospital" but she gives a quick wink.

      In the book, Secret Service Agent Amy is a trans woman. In the film she’s portrayed by a trans woman (Aneesh Shheth). I love every single scene she’s in. In the Texas bar scene she surveys the place silently in the background. Amy is an anchor and an ally !@@gailoverholt6498

    So many wonderful moments. The chemistry between Alex and Henry is fantastic, but the chemistry between most of the other actors is equally fantastic. The New Years party scene of all down but Alex & Henry reminds me of the school dance scene in West Side Story when Tony & Maria first see each other. The director brought in great elements--the handling of e-mails was crisp and delightful. I give it 11 stars out of 19!

    In the cake scene I LOVE how Taylor channels Michael Crawford (Some Mother's Do 'Ave 'Em) with the wide eyed shock.
    The most moving part was the scene that gave the DOP, Lighting, and Grip departments nightmares. The permission to film in the actual Victoria And Albert Museum came with conditions. The most difficult one was that no outside lighting equipment was permitted in the Museum. A wise move indeed. It took really careful planning to make the Museum scene come to life. Then when Alex plays the music, it is heart stopping in the simple beauty.

This film has had a profound impact on me,, I think it’s reinforced for me realise how lucky I am to be in a world where I can live proudly with my husband who I love with all my heart and to not underestimate the internalised shame that we can carry for being who we are.

I watched the film after I watch very serious Nazi series and books like "Remains of the Day" and need a lift. I've seen the film several times and intend to read the book again at some point in the future. You'll love the book.

      Everyone is happy, except for the pip squeak brother. Wait a second, could the sequel open with the brother dying in some type of dramatic plane crash and suddenly Henry is the new heir to the throne?!!!
      I know such speculation is tacky, but it would make for an interesting turn.
