FILM RECOMMENDATION FOR HEARTSTOPPER FANS!

HELLO, FELLOW LGBT+ NERDS!

So, did you also just finish binging Heartstopper on Netflix and are drooling rainbows and your cheeks are aching from how much you smiled? Are you in a bit of a hangover with a ravenous hunger for more content like it?

I got good news for you!

First, you can read the original comic (written by the same person who penned the show’s script!) for free and legally here!

And second, I have just the exact content to recommend to you now!

The Way He Looks (original title ‘Hoje Eu Quero Voltar Sozinho’ - loosely translated as ‘Today/Tonight I Want To Return Alone’) is a Brazilian 2014 teen coming of age wholesome story about a blossoming romance between two adorable boys, one of them blind!

It is rated 7.9 on IMDb and 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, and won two awards at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival, the FIPRESCI Prize for best feature film in the Panorama section, and the Teddy Award for best LGBT-themed feature.

It’s a 96 minute quick watch that I assure you it’s going to hit pretty much all the soft spots Heartstopper did.

You can stream it on Netflix right now! ✨ 🌈
