‘Red, White & Royal Blue’
Sue me: I liked the cliché, adorable, gay Red, White & Royal Blue movie on Amazon Prime. Fans of the book may quibble over the scenes that were cut, but I maintain that changes from the novel actually made the story better. (Sending Alex to Texas to give him a more active role in that political subplot? Inspired!) Director Matthew Lopez, who also co-wrote the script with Ted Malawer, hits all the important romance beats, and the result is a sweet, heart-wrenching queer love story with a fantastic sex scene, to boot. Plus, Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Henry proved he’s ready for his Oscar-reel moment. Pair this kid up with Luca Guadagnino, stat!
