Why, google?

I google searched "best queer romance movies to watch". This is one that google suggested. I've used this website for reading reviews of queer dramas and movies in the past to get a picture of the drama and they were usually negative about the drama but I watched the drama and wound up really liking the drama! But the reviews here in my opinion poorly reflect how the movie actually was. Start the movie out by showing the 3 leads in what comes to be what they would have looked like after the final scene. Also the monologue which Jonathan is saying at the beginning makes no sense imo. The actors did a really great job. But the random jumps between scenes (especially the jump between high school and university) make no sense. I thought Jonathan had to retake the exams but he's in university? When did Shane and Carrie decide to hook up? And hello the book at the beginning about the theory of transgenderism? That makes no sense and isn't relevant what-so-ever as being transgender has nothing to do with the story nor plot. And then Jonathan is always mad at Shane but Shane still considers him a best friend? Why did Jonathan hook up with that one man? It made no sense. Why did Shane and Jonathan have sex then explain nothing? Why did Shane take the 3 of them to the beach? Jonathan says he really loves Shane but Shane says Jonathan has always been his best friend? Is Jonathan rejected? Does Shane break up with Carrie? I'm sorry but wtf. The soundtrack was beautiful and I guess it's supposed to make you emotional, and the cinematography is wonderful. Honestly, I never have high expectations for a movie and my standards are really low. But as a queer individual, I genuinely do not think any of the screenwriters were queer, seeing how the one queer character doesn't even do anything to indicate being queer aside from stopping having sex with Carrie, indicating he likes Shane, and sleeping with a man--how does it make sense? The soundtrack was beautiful but just because the soundtrack was beautiful and cinematography was nice doesn't mean it's a good movie that makes any sense.
