After decades of gay movies where the only topics were hiv, death, shame etc. we finally have movies and series when we see happy people, teens in love, royals in love, real people who deserve to love and be loved. This movie become my number one the second I finished it. From now on it will be rewatch on every valentine's day, every christmas day, with friends with big bowl of popcorn and pizza. This movie creates perfect fantasy, safe place, big smile and what is the most important...HOPE. Hope for love, hope for better tomorrow. I absolutely love this movie, it's fantastic, romantic, funny and just beautiful.

Sick and immoral trash !

Watching this movie I was blown away by their chemistry and the acting from both of them like RENT WAS DUE! Especially Henry's actor, he convey so much emotions with his eyes omg

[@milkflavored]

This is truly the best I’ve ever seen that actor, and I’ve watched Cinderella, Handsome Devil and Purple Hearts - you could tell he had potential but he really pulled out all the stops for this. I’m really happy he’s getting his flowers

[@emrk6517]

This! At first I noticed he had such great expressions in several scenes, but then after watching reaction videos and clips I realised it's actually all the time. Like next time I rewatch the movie, I'll have to remember to just watch his face tell the story.

[@SMAnthonyW]

The casting director needs a raise. Heartstopper is a bit too young for me, but the actors in Red, White, and Royal Blue are closer in age with me, and so I instantly felt more connected with their characters. Definitely my favourite movie in a while.

[@venes0297]

sameeee, heartstopper is amazing but im around the same age as the characters in rw&rb so i could connect with it more

[@bcnmanhattan5022]

Besides, Nick and Charlie are sexless in an age when teens have only sex in their minds. I haven't watched the 2nd season yet because I saw a clip at the end of it and Nick says he's still not ready for anything more than kissing, WTF. I don't know if I'll watch it. Now, THIS is a FANTASTIC movie. Know nothing about the book so I can't judge its adaptation and frankly I don't care. This movie will be in my heart forever. I loved SMILEY too, the Netflix gay series, not the horror one.

I really appreciate the focus on tenderness for their first time - showing that gay people (men in this case) deserve and experience romance too - it’s not all the jackhammer stuff you see on x sites

[@PettyPumpkins]

Yes, this kind of media is important. Not everything is about getting pounded 😂

[@brendadotter4433]

This tenderness is what makes this movie different. All people need to see that LGBTQ+ love is the same as heterosexual love. Love is not always about just sex.

[@dh9892x]

Henry’s reaction when Alex is about to tell him he loves him honestly breaks my heart bc he genuinely expected their little romance to be casual and never expected Alex could ever love him back I am NOT okay emotionally😭😭😭😭

[@JaCkIeYoUnG1221]

I watched this last night and I didn’t think it would have me sobbing but it did 😂 when Henry said he thinks he’ll never own a key in his life I immediately was like “oh he gonna have that key by the end of the movie” and then when they switched jewelry 🥹🥹🥹

[@naribyul]

He does have a key though… to Alex’s heart 😏😏

[@JaCkIeYoUnG1221]

@@naribyul exactly my point on why I sobbed while watching this 😂

[@patriciaramirez2982]

Absolutely love the lake scene and how Taylor and Nicholas play it, in their heads Alex and Henry are in 2 completely different stories, like you guys said Alex is in a fairytale, he's in a love story about to confess to the love of his life, while Henry is in a tragic love story where he's realizing he won't be able to love this man in the way he wants to be loved, loudly, outwardly.

[@sbashkatova]

Yup, because Alex is “free” after the election whereas Henry is stuck indefinitely.

[@gozerthegozarian9500]

Yeah, the fact that his favourite movie is "In the Mood for Love" (two people, whose spouses are cheating on them with one another, fall in love but never consummate their love and never get to be together) is basically an easter egg to hint at what Henry's idea of his own romantic possibilities - or lack thereof - is....poor lamb!

[@thatgirlnextfloor]

In interviews, both Nick and Taylor are so well versed on their characters. They really understood the need to represent such important characters with queer identities. Nick didnt read the book bcoz he wanted to stick to the script, but he read it after filming. Taylor read the book several times. Nicholas was the director's first pick for Henry so when he accepted, the role of Alex relied on the chemistry with Nicholas. And so Taylor had that best chemistry and they even did the rehearsals via Zoom. Also Director Matthew Lopez really loved the book too and this his director debut!! he nailed it so much.

[@pawntksqueen6976]

The amounts of bi rep lately have been amazing. And I watched this movie twice back to back, and now I’m halfway through the book 😂

[@soph6094]

As a bisexual, I LOVE to see it🩷💜💙 Especially male bisexuality is so underrepresented in media

[@stina6225]

My guess is I'm at least 25 years older than the intended target audience (and I haven't read the book), but I watched this last night on a whim and it gave me so much joy. Media has been severely lacking in the romantic comedy department. This was perfect.

[@fm-um9nm]

Could not stop smiling the entire movie! SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIES!!!!

[@Marstrand4]

You always have Young Royals 😉. That’s a serie 👑💜.

[@gozerthegozarian9500]

Agreed! There's so much stuff they had to omit in order to fit it in the movie format. I love the fuck outta this movie, but a series would've been even more awesome!

[@Inquisitor-Beals]

The author hasn’t denied a possible sequel. It sounds like one might be coming

[@0l._.l0895]

This felt like a hallmark movie and i kinda love that, i love that we get a over dramatic, unrealistic, gay couple where we don't have to worry about severe heartbreak

[@gummirwl]

Exactly. I don't agree they had crazy chemistry but it was fun. All we need is a fun gay film

[@clarice8693]

Their chemistry is off the charts. This movie had me feeling so many emotions. Definitely a 10/10.

[@supercalime]

Fun fact: in the scene where Ellen works on her speech in case she loses the election, there’s a cameo from the autor of the book. They are sitting on the floor, typing on a laptop. Just wanted to share cause I think it’s neat

I am currently reading the book, and whilst I will say the movie (so far) is not the MOST faithful adaption, still one of the best pieces I've watched in years. The comedy, chemistry and just vibe of the characters and actors is amazing. Just *chef's kiss*

[@Steef_Lee]

Yeah, there’s just so much in the book that there’s no way they could’ve fit in into a 2 hr film. I think for the most part they chose the right stuff to leave in. I did miss some of the stuff from the book like Alex figuring things out and his talks with Raphael. Also, they could’ve given us some underwear shots lol. But overall I loved the film.

[@naribyul]

@@Steef_Leeyeah that was something I was looking forward to as well was Raphael’s entire role esp how important it was in the last act of the book, so I was iffy about Miguel almost replacing him and downplaying that role all bc of being petty. I also really missed June bc her convos w Alex in the middle of the book were super important too when they discuss about their careers and future paths

[@olanaowen7320]

I feel like we just traded a lot of detail and a lot of history for some really breathtaking scenes and some sexy perfection.

@@WhosThatBird_ they literally specified “most faithful” meaning there are levels of adaptations. No need to get all sensitive and cunty. You sound stupid anyway.

[@michaeltutty1540]

When it comes to Zahra, the term you were looking for is "eating the scenery". So on point she makes the head of a pin look like God's Green Acre. My favourite scene in the movie is the scene in The Victoria And Albert Museum. The challenge for the crew was lighting. They were not permitted to bring in any normal set lights. They also had to be out of the Museum before the building opened for the day.

[@preacher2096]

didnt know if you guys noticed but alex gave his orange hat to henry (alex wore it while packing his stuff to go to austin and henry wore the hat at the bar) and henry wore alex's hoodie (the one alex wore when he talked to nora in her offfice) when he took the other to the museum

[@joelsmith6641]

I've watched this three times and every time it has me tearing up and pulls at my heart. I'm a 58 single gay man and this movie has me wanting a love like this and believing maybe I could turn the corner tomorrow and find it. I've never read the book but I'm gonna buy it shortly (I did the same thing with the film and book Call Me By Your Name, fell in love with them both). The chemistry between Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine, I've never seen the likes of it ever, it was passionate, electric, beautiful and sensual. I WANT a sequel hopefully when all writer and actors strikes are over. I hope there are deleted scenes included whenever they release this on DVD/Blu-ray

[@brianstone6234]

I hope everyone watched all the way to the end of the credits, because there is an end scene after all the credits. It’s just cute and just gives us one more little smile before we have to go. I won’t spoil it but if you haven’t watched it, go back all the way to the end of the credits and watch the last little cute scene :-)

[@xo_kylem6735]

It’s also so nice to see a romantic gay/bi story that is not between teens or a 30+ year old and a 17 year old (looking at you Elio and Oliver 😭). It’s about damn time for a couple we can ALL fawn over. It just seems weird to do it with Heartstopper casts or Love Victor.

[@pegapage9603]

17 and 24, please. The actors were both adults when the film was done.

The last scene is Alex and Henry on bikes riding to Alex's CHILDHOOD HOME in Austin which is what he told Henry that key was for not the lake house. Loved this movie. Very strong emotions.

[@nigelskelchy]

The pinky ring is kinda known as a signet ring. It's usually some symbol of the family

[@Belaugh]

In the UK we do NOT say 'pinky' (Ugh, horrible word!) WE call it what it is, the little finger. Usually worn in upper class families as a sort of badge of honour - which is why, in the book, Henry removes it to be able to speak frankly for the storming the castle scene, and why he gives it to Alex to wear in the film - the strict bands of aristocracy loosening from his soul. If you look carefully you can see that the inscription is a cursive letter H.

"I love him on purpose!" One of my favorite lines ever! Because we always hear "its not a choice" and yes that is true, but the "purpose" part is just such a statement, because that shows that no matter what, HE CHOSE this specific person, even with all the shit that could go wrong. He chose him! Such a good movie, and yes they book does have a lot more detail, but its also like 400 page book, so of course they cant have all of it in it. So they chose the most important cute as fuck scenes and gave us this amazing movie!

[@kevinterrasson7044]

Such a truly romantic rom com so sensitively and emotionally acted by Taylor and Nicholas. Their casting was pure perfection. Henry the shy withdrawn royal prince and Alex as the happy go lucky outgoing first son. Every time they were on camera the screen just sizzled. So many tender and loving moments. The actors worked so hard to keep it real and they certainly succeeded. Nicholas has a beautiful vulnerability about him whist Taylor has bucketloads of charm and charisma.💖💖💖💖💖

Boys, the scene with the King is highly explainable. I have studied the Royal family for over 50 years and the scene is of the King coming into a room BUT, what does he do? He gets a cigarrette then goes and gets a whiskey at probably 10:00 A.M. He is the King but he is also one VERY SHOCKED MAN and he is doing what he can do to calm his nerves down!

[@james31805]

Hi love your channel; I'm from the UK; Stephen Fry is well known for being an out gay (for many years) and has/had a partner. So a little ironic that he was cast as the KIng, may be they just thought he was very British! I'm glad to hear you think the addaption of the film is quite close to the book.

I was still adamant about watching the RWRB in full coz I consumed an unhealthy amount of clips this past several days already. I fear it will further escalate my obsession with seeing the movie now but I accidentally saw this review and it intrigued me so much. The side comments are topnotch, I feel they fully represent the feelings of the fans and there's no dead air throughout the video. This has the right amount of reaction, not exaggerated. The side comments are so witty, I can help but smile. I don't usually watch videos with almost an hour's duration if it is not a movie/ series. But this is just right and I also like that u both didn't include the full movie. So there will be scenes that I can still look forward to and still not take my excitement away when I finally watch the whole film. Please, more queer film reviews. Both of your reaction is on point.

[@thegraceland1]

I loved it soooo much too!!! I have now watched it 100 times. Thank you for getting your reaction out so quickly. I feel like I need group therapy to talk about it so watching you guys helped. Agree about the love letters from the books but I can let that go bc everything else was perfect. The biggest thing was always going to be getting the casting right and my god. They are both perfectly cast in every single way that was needed for this to work. I will forever be in love with this gorgeous couple and this beautiful love story.

[@jasonstamp10]

loved your reactions, I had similar ones the first time I watched. I loved how funny the movie was mixed with really incredible intimate moments. Zahra was one of my favorite parts. Her finding Henry in the closet in the hotel room was so hilarious. The Paris hotel room sex scene was so beautifully done. It was done with such elegance and dignity. No panning the camera away, not hiding the body placements. Such a romantic moment in the movie, and THAT MUSIC! The museum scene absolutely killed me the first time I watched it (and still occasionally on rewatches). It was so intimate and romantic and the song choice was perfect ("Can't Help Falling In Love" by Perfume Genius who I love also). I've been to the Victoria & Albert Museum and have walked that exact corridor. I have photos of those exact statues where they were dancing. As someone who loves museums, I'm adding having a late night private date at a museum with a guy to my fantasy wish list. I felt so incredibly single in that moment watching that scene.

Thank you for your review. It is probably the funniest, most positive, appreciative and comprehending review I have ever seen (why DO so many so called 'reviewers' on KZbin work so hard wasting time displaying their screaming bad manners and their own ignorance of what they are doing as if it is something clever, when in fact it screams IDIOT and AMATEUR very very loudly? Sorry, I am a retired theatre critic and it annoys me that so many idiots think anyone can do it) You made me laugh and splutter and also nod at your collective wisdom and perception; and delight in the strength of your partnership as you do so. Sweet of you both, and quite lovely. You two are sweet and heartwarming. I owe you hot chocolate and marshmallows!

I just finished the movie, it was very very beautifully done, the two actors are dreamy and their chemistry is ineffable, I give it 1 million out of 1 million , definitely the best film of 2023.

Y’all are so silly! I cried laughing when you whispered “fuck” after he asked what do we do now. I also relate to watching queer romance movies and getting emotional and so into it. It makes your inner child so giddy and alive ❤️. Hopefully y’all get to review Bottoms when they put it on streaming!

I will not like to comment on the amount of times I’ve watched this film 💀

Watching your reaction video was just so wonderful. Your reactions added a fantastic layer to it, like in the scene where Henry/Alex exchange their ring/key! 😭😂

I admit that I was initially concerned about the casting, particularly the actors' ages, and the amount of material and characters from the novel that were left out of the movie. That said, I loved the movie. The chemistry between the leads was fantastic. The film was well-acted, funny, sad, and surprisingly touching. I'm glad they left a lot of the political subplots out of the film and focused on Alex and Henry's relationship. I do wish they had kept June and and showed Princess Catherine, but overall I think it was an excellent adaptation.

I have watched this movie so many times. If you have not read the book read it you get so much more detail especially the details about the emails.

[@wyattsheeder9811]

Really enjoyed your commentary! I've watched it twice already. I'm glad youth today have media like this to watch- I feel like we could've all used it.

[@Libra433]

I encountered your channel a few weeks back and have been binging all your reactions since, and this has to be the best one yet! Extremely hilarious and very relatable, we're all obsessed with this film

The Paris love scene and museum scene made me cry. This movie is everything.
