Cuando digo que las películas de gays solo las deberían dirigir gays me refiero exactamente a esto. Sálganse de letterboxd quiero estar sola. Me cambiaría de acera por el Colin Firth bisexual. Todo el mundo al principio de la peli diciendo que lucía fatal pero chicxs es Colin Firth, nunca se ve mal.
