Sing Street is Surprisingly Feminist

Like the dude starts out wanting the girl as like an idea of her, but then she starts making music with him, and gets developed into three dimensions and he just likes her better and she encourages him to experiment with gender expression and reject patriarchal masculinity and he’s there for her when her shitty boyfriend does something shitty but doesn’t like pursue her then, and like when she’s all fucked up over being abandoned by the bf and thinking she has to abandon everything she cares about she’s all no-makeup wholesome (when normally she’s dolled up and kinda rock and roll) and she’s dolled up and rock and roll again when she runs off with her sweet rock n’ roll boyfriend.

I really love this.
