Great comedy, with an emotional realistic plot, great acting, fresh teen vision, and comfortingly good queer representation!!
I absolutely loved this movie, I felt connected to the characters while watching, the first half hour I didn't even want to think of finishing it, i was felling confortable so I did not want to say goodbye even though i had just meet them. I get happy, angry, sad, anxious and frustrated all in the 1 hour and 40 something minutes, for me a good movie needs to give you a different amount of emotions, a good movie will get you so into it, that the characters emotions will be yours, Three Months for sure did that to me.
As a queer young person myself, it feels great to have this kind of films to watch, not a single toxic stereotype, lots of inside jokes for the community, and a sweat but realistic love story! I loved the chemistry of the main couple, it didn't feel forced at all, Estha is akward and literal, Caleb is sarcastic and "cool", making them opposites, but even with their completely different contexts they're going through the same complicated situation so they conect at the first sight, stills nothing happens between them too early, their relationship grows in a time that feels correct, of course they like each other since the first day, but it wouldn't feel natural if they just confessed their love instantly. The movie don't try to sell you a perfect summer romance, but it does not give you a "bad guy" for their story either, you understand why they both acted in the way they did, even if you pic a side, 'cause sadly being gay is not easy for everyone.
I was really excited to watch this movie since i heard about it, i know Troye Sivan and i know his projects don't disappoint, he's got an strong concept and vision, you can see it as listening his songs and watching his music videos, he has basically been famous forever, young wolverine on X-Man, YouTuber, and now a pop star who's catching his actor self again, ever since he started being a celebrity he has done justice for the gay content, always bringing this kinds of topics to his audience, talking 'bout AIDS since his 2013 youtube era, doing a whole trilogy of music videos about not being accepted for being gay on 2015/6, and much more. It just make sense to see him in this film, he is not a radom famous singer they choose cause his image will bring lots of money. So please don't look this movie as less cause a pop star play the protagonist, he has being an actor for long, even if its not the focus of his career, he is involved in the topic too! He is a great actor, Caleb is funny, he also feels relatable, young and fresh. And if you're not familiar with Troye's music or him as a person, I definitely invite you to watch some of his content, he is worth it.
I gave this movie a 9 and not a 10 cause the ending did not gave everything i would like it to give, it catch me wishing for more, i would not say "bad" but I didn't feel it as strong or as "wow!" enough for the topic of the movie.
