Brian wanting to paint something awesome for noah and asking jude for help because let’s be honest the boy can’t even draw a straight line. And Jude gets so excited !!!! She gathers pamphlets and art books and tries to teach him a billion techniques he can’t even begin to comprehend and he’s just! so! lost! He spends a week working on 5 different sketches and “ohmygod jude they’re terrible, i’m terrible, i don’t know how you two do it, i should have sticked to sports. Do you think he’d like a signed ball??? Or maybe a telescope??” Oscar just laughs because god damn of course picasso would fall in love with a guy who can’t tell the difference between the color yellow and the color mustard. In the end, he ends up giving Noah a simple pencil drawing of him and noah star gazing with smudges all over bc he’s left handed and the struggle is real. he writes a tiny ‘i love you’ in the corner of the paper with a smiley face bc he’s a fucking dork like that and he’s so embarrased when he gives it to Noah like srsly he can’t even look at him. But even though it’s kinda terrible and it looks like it was done by a 9-year-old in sweetwine standards, Noah absolutely loves it. And late at night he stares at it and tries to hold back tears because jesus he has spent so much of his time drawing and painting the world and the people around him and no one besides his sister had ever taken the time to draw something JUST FOR HIM. and of course he spends the rest of the week grinning ,feeling like he’s walking on clouds and god he’s honestly considering having it framed????? and he’s so so glad he isn’t a horse because he loves that rock-collecting baseball-playing boy so damn much and he doesn’t know where he would be without him.

Set It Up (2018) dir. Claire Scanlon
SET IT UP IS AMAZING!!
the acting is incredible.
the main characters aren’t stereotypes.
everyone, even the side-characters have a freaking personality.
the ‘best friends’ characters are AMAZING, they aren’t there just for exposure purposes, they actually make the plot evolve.
all these characters felt real, they all make mistakes and face consequences for those mistakes.
the characters are relatable as hell.
also, the CHEMISTRY between the main characters is so fucking incredible and natural.
the plot might be predictable, but it’s so good, and so well written!!!
and the pacing is GREAT??? you don’t feel like there’s any part that was rushed, or that there’s a part that falls flat compared to the other????
it’s fun and cliche, but not too overly cliche you’ll roll your eyes. it’s the type of cliche that will make you happy and believe in happiness again. this movie will truly leave you with a smile on your face.
FUCKING AMAZING SOUNDTRACK. makes you want to fall in love.
if you love rom coms, and you want to watch one that isn’t a ‘so bad that is good’ rom com, ‘set it up’ will be the ‘so good that is FREAKING AMAZING’ rom com you’ve been waiting for.
btw, IT WAS WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY WOMEN.
watch ‘set it up’ on netflix. it’s one of the best rom coms i’ve seen in years. i really think you won’t regret it.
