Subtly complex, subtly dark, subtly wise
"Quaranthings" was unexpectedly fantastic! The cast wasn't too large, and the sets were minimalist (mostly all set in the same apartment). The soundtrack wasn't particularly groundbreaking, but it did its job.
The story started off super cute and fluffy, but things quickly got real! Judah is a gay guy who recently came out, Rocky is a gay guy who is still closeted, which means they both deal with a ton of emotional and social baggage. Trouble ensues, and it's not pretty. Ultimately, the story is about how heteronormative society and the closet create young queer people without direction or interpersonal skills, and about how communication and honesty are important in any relationship. It's a story about emotional immaturity, and the path towards emotional and social health. "Quaranthings" is heart-touching, beautiful, enjoyable, and painful all at the same time!
