Straight Up (2019)
Cop-Out

I was hesitant about watching this, but it avoided the obvious tropes of confused-sexual-identity films, and I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed the Woody Allen-esque dialogue and rapid fire, Howard Hawksian pacing... Until the ending, which felt like a complete Cop-Out; maybe Rory was even more damaged than I realised, but it was a huge disappointment to see her settle for less than she deserved. I mean, they both settled, but I was led to believe that stuck as Todd was, Rory at least had grown as a person. Instead, we're left with a very bleak, cynical and tragic ending for what is billed as a comedy.
