(2022)Released on Hulu around the same time Heartstopper debuted on Netflix, Crush is another feel-good (and queer) coming-of-age flick. Much like Heartstopper, the film features several casually queer central characters. In fact, no one really comes out here. Well, our protagonist Paige (Rowan Blanchard) technically comes out in a cute flashback sequence, telling her mom (Megan Mullally) that she's gay while wearing a Tegan and Sara shirt and helping her parent fix the sink.

Photo Courtesy: HuluWhile it's not perfect, and while some of the "teen talk" feels a bit more forced than colloquial, Crush is a cute film on par with a To All the Boys I Loved Before (2018) or a Love, Simon (2018). Paige, a teen artist who desperately wants to get into CalArts, finds herself being blamed for art that's graffiting the school. But it wasn't Paige; she's too consumed with her application, and with crushing on popular girl and track star.

However, it’s not Gabriela she finds herself getting closer to, but Gabriela’s twin sister and track co-captain, A.J.

Louise Blachère, meanwhile, plays Marie's straight friend , Anne, who's also desperate for young love and a summer romance.ADVERTISEMENTAdèle Haenel
