Amazing Rowan performance, LGBTQ+ Friendly
Rowan can be such a fun actress. While some might think of her performance in Girl Meets World to be a bit plastic, I always saw a star in the making. I read an interview about this film, right before its release; Rowan said she was carefully picking and choosing roles, not trying to burn-out or become old-news at such a young age. She said this wasn't an 'LGBTQ+ film", rather it's a heartwarming story, which happens to have a lesbian main-character. As a leftist, I've seen a lot of cringe-worthy leftist films. This isn't one of them. Yes, there are probably a bit more LGBTQ+ characters in this school than your average American standard, but it doesn't feel forced. Which was their goal. So, mission accomplished. Everything you could love about Rowan Blanchard as an actress comes out in this film. We get that bubbly girl from Girl Meets World, mixed with a more mature artist. She is fun, funny, adorable, and serious; all to perfection. The film was fun to watch. The other cast were also great actors. This could/should be alongside American Pie as a teen-coming-of-age film which is equally hilarious and poignant. Well done!
