“blissfully unaware” is such a great way to describe trig!

[@faitharooo]

The hot springs scene was just GAY PANIC If I was Ellie I would've DIED

[@akie27]

If I was Ellie, I will definitely kiss Aster. Maybe that would be the Best Part

[@skullleaderx4986]

Wolfgang is gonna be the next superman!

[@kalisifisiiahi1143]

lmao why the cast be so hawwwtt

[@chlo3mak]

i ADORE ellie and paul’s friendship so so much and im so happy that aster and ellie ended up together they’re adorable :’) and honestly yeah trig really was just vibing he didnt really come across as nasty, maybe a little arrogant and ignorant but he was just .there. which i quite liked i guess

[@Caroline-uv6gs]

but ellie and aster didnt really end up together. they had one kiss, and ellie went off to college. it kinda just seems like a passing fling, not like theyre in a relationship. which is pretty heartbreaking. if they dont make a second movie then i will be really disappointed because we'll never seen their relationship flouish. After all, it is called "the *half* of it" so i assume there is a second half of the story. i hope it's not another perspective, but a continuation of the story, so we get to see what happens next

[@wtx64940]

Wolfgang sounds way smarter than Trig

[@user-rc2od8di5o]

2:47 when they unconsciously mimic fixing their hair is so satisfying. that's like a huge sign you're on the same wavelength, in a conversation, right?

[@celine9230]

they're both gorgeous

[@brytney02132000]

2:49 Ah yes, my favorite scene was also the hot springs, but probably for different reasons lmao. Second fav scene would probably be the church scene

[@mooncookies7803]

Does Alexxis know we’re all in love with her?

[@cepheus9856]

Alexxis you're my new girl crush, we need a part 2 😢😢 ellie x aster

[@avwheedincantwheeout]

Alexxis is just so adorable 😍 And also Wolfgang’s dimples 🤍

[@dianamercado8040]

Im in love with his smileeeee

[@pakiraju786]

Yessss that nonverbal communication is what I liked the most about their connection. Not everything had to be said.

[@seraph0917]

these two are adorable. hope they get the breaks they so deserve. hope to see more of you guys. and Trig's character isnt that annoying. i hope there will be a sequel for his character. Alice Wu must had some blast filming with such wonderful & matured actors

[@xxcris20xx]

The hot springs was my favorite scene too. I was like: AWWWWW SO CUTE! My heart almost stopped!

[@flyingcranes4596]

Best interview I’ve seen so far. Best line, “I’m the Russian doll of layers.” Easter egg: the pic of Ellie’s mom is of Joan Chen who was in Saving Face, Director Alice Wu’s first feature.

[@spidersiri104]

I love the relationship between Ellie and Paul.. how he can bring Ellie to say things that she doesn't say out loud or think about it. And the relationship between Aester and Paul. It's like sweet but something is always off and it's funny to watch 🤣 It's my 4th time watching the movie 😅

[@paulinas8303]

im so happy wolfgang is NOTHING like trig

[@sanskrutipathak2000]

This movie is just so precious.

[@julir4616]

This movie is great. Can’t wait to see the actors and director next projects

[@hebe309]

At 2.47 they are SO IN SYNC

[@user-rc2od8di5o]

trig was hilarious! i too would zoom in on my dimple if i had one

[@nikkiG90]

I was thinking the same thing LoL

[@btr.bigtimerush.6003]

We need the part 2 to the movie

[@constanzah2070]

Wolfieeeee

[@danubiaalmeida1545]

Wolfie ❤

[@nathaliasouza3165]

Wolf is so handsome!

[@auntvesuvi3872]

I just happened to watch THE HALF OF IT (2020) and *loved* every second of it... brilliant... beautiful. 💜

[@wagnerwantuy3021]

Wolfgang Novogratz has the vibe of a mix of Superman from the comics and all the characteristics that Christopher Reeves would imprint on the character. It came ready with a complete package. Simply perfect. The only reason he wasn't cast in the role is because he looks too young. But I wouldn't mind that

[@shobhakumari6523]

Beautiful and Talented movie cast.

[@innerthoughts143]

She is so gorgeous!

[@MockingL]

so many good things came out of this movie for me. including and especially, Wolfgang's dimples. -v/xix-

[@thebops4180]

Alexxis is a spunk :) WOW!

[@chlo3mak]

alexxis... spare a hand in marriage perhaps

[@KellyEsparzaVEVO]

Nice movie, I loved it!

[@annalisekkeatingm7619]

I love the movie

[@veronicablanco8457]

I realy like these movie

[@kruhis1467]

Not that I was complaining, I didn't understand why Aster brought Ellie to the springs in the first place (cause they didn't really know each other that well I guess?) and I remember thinking throughout the movie that "wow, even thought I'm not into Trig and Aster together, Aster is straight up cheating?"

[@aznhelena]

Kruhis I had the same thoughts!! But I think she just wanted to connect with someone outside of her world even though they didn’t know each well. However I have no rebuttal for the cheating

[@musicsdrug]

I think that’s why she was pushing the friendzone with Paul and just doing these as hangouts.

[@musicsdrug]

Kruhis I think Aster has been intrigued by Ellie ever since the bathroom scene or maybe even before that. We dont know the half of it ;) since much of the focus is Ellie and Paul. I’d love to see the film in Aster’s POV.

[@HrabeSowir]

Yeah, same. I thought Aster broke up with Trig before the kiss with Paul, but the he asks her to marry him and I was like wat?!

[@Pink-dc4qi]

@@musicsdrug her and Paul had no bond lol nor chemistry. I don't see her liking him as much just a rebound lol.

[@ludmillaluez]

Alexxis ❤

[@keithss67]

He wins the hairy arm award

[@samantha_3ve]

2:46 they were in sync

[@Sid271]

Bro is super man and he doesn't even know it

[@li19094]

Omg I'm so fucking in love with those 2 xD I think I deserve the love from this 2 just like Alexxis said we all deserved love xD jahahahhaahha :P

[@Logan-dn6uv]

Music?

[@vigneshkannan2007]

Whether is there a need to have so many cuts during the conversation?

[@jovanmaravilla789]

I’m going to be a actor

[@jhazwen]

Ellie x Aster ❤❤❤

[@noeliacarolinafarfanordone3417]

PAAAAATCH!!!!!
