  Watching this movie I was blown away by their chemistry and the acting from both of them like RENT WAS DUE! Especially Henry's actor, he convey so much emotions with his eyes omg

  I really appreciate the focus on tenderness for their first time — showing that gay people (men in this case) deserve and experience romance too — it’s not all the jackhammer stuff you see on x sites

  Taylor and Nick’s acting as Henry and Alex and their insane chemistry and dynamic carried this movie 10000% and made me forgive all the stuff they cut or changed up. I want so much more now!!

  After decades of gay movies where the only topics were hiv, death, shame etc. we finally have movies and series when we see happy people, teens in love, royals in love, real people who deserve to love and be loved. This movie become my number one the second I finished it. From now on it will be rewatch on every valentine's day, every christmas day, with friends with big bowl of popcorn and pizza. This movie creates perfect fantasy, safe place, big smile and what is the most important...HOPE. Hope for love, hope for better tomorrow. I absolutely love this movie, it's fantastic, romantic, funny and just beautiful.

  My guess is I'm at least 25 years older than the intended target audience (and I haven't read the book), but I watched this last night on a whim and it gave me so much joy. Media has been severely lacking in the romantic comedy department. This was perfect.

  The casting director needs a raise. Heartstopper is a bit too young for me, but the actors in Red, White, and Royal Blue are closer in age with me, and so I instantly felt more connected with their characters. Definitely my favourite movie in a while.

  In interviews, both Nick and Taylor are so well versed on their characters. They really understood the need to represent such important characters with queer identities. Nick didnt read the book bcoz he wanted to stick to the script, but he read it after filming. Taylor read the book several times. Nicholas was the director's first pick for Henry so when he accepted, the role of Alex relied on the chemistry with Nicholas. And so Taylor had that best chemistry and they even did the rehearsals via Zoom. Also Director Matthew Lopez really loved the book too and this his director debut!! he nailed it so much.

  Absolutely love the lake scene and how Taylor and Nicholas play it, in their heads Alex and Henry are in 2 completely different stories, like you guys said Alex is in a fairytale, he's in a love story about to confess to the love of his life, while Henry is in a tragic love story where he's realizing he won't be able to love this man in the way he wants to be loved, loudly, outwardly.

  The amounts of bi rep lately have been amazing. And I watched this movie twice back to back, and now I’m halfway through the book 😂

  Henry’s reaction when Alex is about to tell him he loves him honestly breaks my heart bc he genuinely expected their little romance to be casual and never expected Alex could ever love him back<br><br> I am NOT okay emotionally😭😭😭😭

  This felt like a hallmark movie and i kinda love that, i love that we get a over dramatic, unrealistic, gay couple where we don&apos;t have to worry about severe heartbreak
