Despite the familiar settings and tropes in director Sammi Cohen’s debut feature film, Crush feels refreshingly contemporary. Read full review

Crush is, for better or worse, just like every other teen rom-com, extraordinary in its ordinariness. It succeeds at what it sets out to do: Give queer kids a totally enjoyable, and often quite funny, mainstream love story with a happy ending. Read full review

The movie’s aggressive hipness can be a turnoff at times. But once it settles down into a more typical coming-of-age story, Crush becomes disarmingly sweet and relatable. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Unfortunately, that’s exactly what the filmmakers hope, that you’ll be so swept up in “representation” that you won’t notice how generic the story is, and how dull and drab and laugh-starved its execution turns out to be. Read full review

It is clear from the offset which sibling will win both Paige’s affection and the obligatory climactic smooch. The journey there can drag. More fresh is the movie’s sex-positive empathy. Read full review

What’s jarring in Crush is the absence of some requisite dose of youthful mischief, a sense of stakes and perhaps even a lightly scandalous touch, integral to the spirit of many of the genre staples Cohen and co-writers Kirsten King and Casey Rackham attempt to revive on their own terms.

Hulu’s Crush is a queer coming-of-age movie in which very little happens, and whose characters barely exist outside of their joking lines of dialogue. Its young actors are a delight, but even as a story of teenage crushes, it rarely captures what it feels like to be young and in love. Read full review

A heart-warming and fun queer comedy that delivers a much needed, refreshing take on the coming-of-age love story.

I think the movie is a little hard to latch onto in the beginning because of how cringe it is but as you go on you get invested in the love triangle the main character is stuck in and it makes you want to follow through to see where it goes and who she ends up with.

Incest being called part of LGBTQIA+

This happens when you let two middle-aged women who spend all their time writing incest fic on Ao3 and Livejournal write a movie about queer Gen-Z Tumblr users. I don't know why a line about siblings sixty-nining is allowed to be in a movie withIncest being called part of LGBTQIA+

This happens when you let two middle-aged women who spend all their time writing incest fic on Ao3 and Livejournal write a movie about queer Gen-Z Tumblr users. I don't know why a line about siblings sixty-nining is allowed to be in a movie with teenagers as the target demographic. But what I do know is that the writers are trying to shove their own fetish into this movie.

Calling incest part of queer culture is against the GLAAD rules. Homophobes already call us "degenerates." This movie plays right into their hands. "So you're gay? Does that mean you want to **** your brother?" Just vile and disgusting. Hey, dear writers: If you're reading this: I know you know Tumblr literally ships Destiel. It ranks No. 1 every year. Your win*est thing isn't even top 100. I know that makes you mad. So mad, you tried to associate Tumblr with YOUR fetish. Please write your NC-17 incest fic and stay out of queer movies.… Expand
