One of the things I really liked about it is that there was no explosive denouement (apart from PIke's hug), and Una and Neera didn't automagically become BFFs again at the end. 25 years is a longass time. Even excluding ideological positions, they're strangers now. They probably won't send each other birthday cards. They won't send each other memes on Whatsapp. They won't invite each other to weddings and shit.
And that's okay. Or maybe I'm just projecting. Sometimes I see friends I haven't spoken to in 10+ years on social media, and I think damn back then we couldn't let a day pass without at least a text. But whatever the reason for falling out of touch, I would say I'd be glad if they're thriving and hope things get better for them if they're not. But no interest in rekindling the friendship or initiating contact. And that's okay.
idk that lingering hand holding before Neera beamed away felt a little lesbian to me
Women are allowed to hold each other’s hands without sexual or romantic intent. And even if they do, there’s nothing wrong with that.
@goGetF1 @buckykat yeah, calling that scene "a little lesbian" is a bit of a reach.
Non-romantic hand holding is incredibly common in many places across the world. In the US we are funny about it is all.
I think that was a comment on perception not permission.
Neera and Una said Happy Pride Month
