The Feels

This intimate hangout movie chronicles the weekend getaway of a group of friends celebrating lesbian couple Andi (Constance Wu) and Lu's (Angela Trimbur) impending marriage. The trip is full of dancing, drinks, and laughs, but isn't without its fair share of drama. Lu's strained relationship with her older sister (played by writer/director Jenee LaMarque), who is currently going through a divorce, becomes a main point of contention over the weekend, and the presence of Andi's lothario male friend Josh (Josh Fadem) doesn't help. During a wild night of partying, a spontaneous drug-riddled conversation reveals that Lu, contrary to Andi's belief, has never had an orgasm. The tension among the group grows as secrets are revealed and relationships - both romantic and platonic - are put to the ultimate test. Mixing all the best elements of The Big Chill and Bridesmaids, LaMarque's The Feels is a touching and humorous film, relatable regardless of sexuality, and accompanied by a rad '90s top-40 R&B and girl electro-pop soundtrack.
