I did a Summerland /San Junipero double feature with my friend and we cried like babies because we expected something terrible to happen and it didn’t! Summerland was just the right amount of sweet and the main actress, Gemma I think, was wonderful with her expressions. We’re both partial to Gugu, I really hope she keeps dropping these sapphic gems on us every few years. And I loved seeing old wlw! That’s rare!
Awww, what a twofer! Gemma really was quite lovely, those closeups and her very expressive conflicted face.
Summerland definitely seemed like there’d be a tragic backdrop but the twist was amazing, and then them doubling down on how happy the ending was. :’) Really LOVE these for Gugu but would love for her to get a more central role in one of these, a bit more interiority, you know? But indeed, a great genre to be a part of, and hope there are more to come! Including with more older wlw!
