Alex Strangelove
“Love can be confusing”
Alex Truelove is on a quest to lose his virginity, an event eagerly awaited by his patient girlfriend and cheered on with welcome advice by his rowdy friends. But Alex, a super gregarious dude, is oddly unmotivated. A magical house party throws Alex into the presence of Elliot, a hunky college guy, who pegs Alex as gay and flirts hard. Alex is taken aback but after a series of setbacks on the girlfriend front he takes the plunge and learns some interesting new facts about himself.
This film feels like a warm, funny embrace of adolescent confusion and self-discovery. It's an earnest, often awkward, and ultimately heartfelt journey through the complexities of identity and first love, wrapped in a charmingly contemporary high school setting. Expect a genuinely sweet and relatable experience.
