This film belongs in 2005, this is not how gay films/ people are written anymore. I believe this movie was made by a bunch of straight people who think they know how LGBTQIA+ people work but really don't and the people who will really enjoy this movie are just people who want to feel good about themselves because they posted a rainbow on facebook when gay marriage was legalized because "I support gay people". Now that's not a bad thing to feel good about there is still a lot of people who think gay people should be stoned to death but this movie is only enjoyable to a small audience when it doesn't need to be.
I'm going to compare it to another movie at this point, Imagine Me & You (2005), I LOVE this film it is very satisfying to see those 2 get together at the end and the build up that leads up. That is from the lesbian perspective, but the movie is also very enjoyable for most of the people around in 2005, accepting but still a little uncomfortable because it wasn't too much. It is a movie gay people and straight people can enjoy alike. Jenny's Wedding seems to have no idea what gay people would like to see in their movies using songs like She Keeps Me Warm, like yeah that song is about lesbians put that in. It really seems to distant itself from what it should be.
Another movie I will quickly compare it too is Carol. That was an AMAZING movie and what the top of gay movies is for this time in my opinion, I don't expect Jenny's Wedding to be the same as this movie which is getting noms from many different awards but I expect it to be modern. If you had shown me Jenny's Wedding and asked me what year it came out I would say 2004. But it didn't it came out 2015. There's a gap, there's a learning curve that hasn't gotten to Jenny's Wedding yet. Jenny's Wedding is how not to write a gay film.
That is my main problem with this movie.
