A True-to-Life Friendship
27 July 2016
Sasha and Paige are best friends since forever. Sasha's lesbian and Paige's straight. So far, that's just how the story goes, their lives somehow co-dependent with each other until one of them fell in love, for real and started to lose time with her bestie.

The movie tackles about true friendship (regardless of its sexual preference) that even if one day, one of them chooses a different course they will always be friends for life.

Leighton Meester's character Sasha reminds me of her character Blair in Gossip Girl. Although Blair's totally straight, both of them value their friendship even if sometimes they get hurt in the process but they don't give up easily. I think that's what friendship is all about. We learn to accept, to forgive, to be loyal until the end of time.

It's a heart-warming, feel-good and very real kind of movie that you will enjoy watching even when you are alone, with your partner or with your closest buds. It is also gender sensitive film even if the movie didn't really focus on Sasha's sexuality but focused on how Sasha is devoted to Paige's life that sometimes may be the root of their misunderstandings. The ending was simple but I couldn't think of any ending better than that.
