GET YOUR LESBIAN FEET OUT OF MY SHOES
aaronAug 29, 2016Y'all.... Aside from that random straight subplot it's so gay. Like I'm not even sure if they realised how gay this is when they made it. Like you could argue the whole movie is sort of a metaphor for being gay. Alas, it is not actually gay. RIP to all that potential…

it is so like the queer community to recommend this movie as sapphic and then for the main character to end up with a man. it was still the gayest thing i’ve ever seen though

Director and co-writer Gurinder Chadha continues in the vein of her previous movies, What's Cooking? and Bhaji on the Beach, exploring with humor and compassion how cultures adapt in foreign climes.

Lightweight, thoroughly charming fluff.

Bend It Like Beckham is supposedly a movie about youth; its biggest shortcoming is that it rarely feels young.
