im using this as my book inspo. i love this so much

That part o friday talking about ex-homosexuals, i used to think a lot like that Before I discovered I was bisexual, I was very confused and thought it was just a phase since I liked boys too... also im so happy that the world were we live nowdays is way more safer for us than 30 years ago! i know theres a long path to go but still i'm thankful

I have to thank Izzysroughcuts for getting me into Joy Division and post-punk in general. I first heard of the band because of Knight's video about the darkest songs, but this short film was a wake-up call for me to go check out the band. Best decision I've ever made! The next thing you know, Ian Curtis helped me navigate the dark corners of early adulthood. He was a very rare kind of songwriter to come across, and who wrote with such vulnerability and wisdom that today's music so desperately needs. I also finally figured out what job I want: a post-punk bassist. I'm saving money for a Fender P-Bass at the time I'm writing this. It's truly wonderful that a lesbian short film led me to a new passion in life!

I love how the lighting is so sharp and flat like old photos with flash- especially in the dance scene its so cute <33

WOW that was so amazing 🫶🏻

Teenage lesbian here! I was born and raised in Perth, (still live here of course), and I just wanted to say this short film not only made me feel seen as a 16 year old who is undoubtedly gay, but also perfectly incorporated the struggles of living somewhere like in Perth where we may not have as many opportunities to be expressive like over east or overseas. of course, a lot has changed since 1987, but god it was still relatable. I loved everything about this, and while I can't express myself the way i want to yet, i can't wait for the day i can, and be with the people who truly know and care about me :)

THE TABLE SCENE IM IN LOVE ITS SO BEAUTIFUL

This is me getting really crossed, and you can pay for the fish and chips

the way this is shot is so gorgeous, i really feel like i’m in the room with the characters! this is also one of the only films, indie or big-budget that i’ve seen that really shows how isolating it is to be young and queer. the table scene, friday’s ex-gay spiral, the situation in the bathroom, debbie escaping the 1988 party…. you really capture that ostracized feeling in a way many can’t do. from the bottom of my heart, thank you for sharing this!

The is so good

WHAT A GREAT SHORT FILM I LOVE IT

BRO SHE SKIPPED BLISTHER IN THE SUN 😭

I love the phonebook part !!

I love this I love it ahhh

HERMOSO, LO AMO

Não dá pra fugir do fato de todas as atrizes serem lindas e super talentosas. Que coisa bem feita!

this was so well done. Amazing.

We need a freaking Netflix series of this

Apart from the audio quality this film feels so professionally produced and is just beautiful. I love it sm. y'all are really talented.

oh. my. you are going somewhere

Please show the 5 minute version as a film a level girly

i just wanna remind people, being lesbian was never illegal, mostly just frowned apon in a lot of cultures! they never would have gotten in any legal issues, maybe things with their parents tho :)) (im writing this about a minute in so, sorry if this was explained later on!!)

This is so good wtf

I NEED THIS TO BE A FULL MOVIE

DAMN IT'S SO GOOD, IT'S PERFECT, I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!! YOU SO FREAKING TALENTED!!!

izzy i didn't expect to be destroyed emotionally hello

10/10 intro-theme-song- whateveritscalled

this is so amazing you did such a great job!

This is incredible!

Probably the best queer short film I've seen, period. The storytelling and attention to detail is inspiring. And the music choice for each scene is perfect. Drawing them in my sketchbook as I write this lol.

Has anyone noticed that the video is 13:13 long

PLEASE TURN THIS INTO AN OUR OR MORE MOVIE. THIS IS SO GOOD IT CLOUD BE ON NETFLIX

Cute one. Says a lot of things without Talking about it.

"Hot. Old. Women-" "YES." real.

This was legit my gay awakening when it came out

Great film and fabulous music. Although not publically accepted the lesbian and gay clubs in the 80s were amazing and the music was the BEST. Happy to have been able to experience it then but also pleased see the progress made since then.

The style and atmosphere of the eighties is so lovely recreated ❤

this is honestly the best thing I’ve seen all day, my mental health hasn’t been the best recently so to see this it makes me so happy..an also Joy division in the start of video..made me cry, its a comfort band that hits close to home so thank you, even if you don’t see this! 💙

This is the best lgbt short film I’ve seen. I got chills and the ending made me so happy beyond compare. 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

this is INCREDIBLE

Hii, I know I’m late to this but I working on making a short film and was wondering how you got permission to use the songs in your film?

literally from the first two seconds of this video u had me like I was like this girlie's got a *vision* & she UNDERSTOOD the assignment- the way you draw out the scene & create like this awkward humorous tension, exposing your humanness in just setting up the camera and taking a second to adjust (also w/ how u ended the video tooo)- idk why that stuck w/ me but then I reeeealized that that's also a really present quality in 1987 like that's what made the fish & chips scene so funny and real and ur brilliant and I love the campy vibes of it all!! like did i mention the *VISION*- i just feel that u understand something that goes deep that most directors don't (& if we're being honest, most people) and that's really special. i felt seen in your work (in debbie and friday & in u in this video & the *audience*), so thank you for that- u the shit & the moment (even tho I'm like 2 years-post but whatever)💅💅

Its kind of was anderson style and I LOVE IT

You are a f7king genius friday i'm in love by the cure playing on the background off the scene were she calme her cause her name is friday !!!!!!!!!!!! Fucking genius

I love this so much!! This was so good! 🏳️‍🌈✨❤️
