Straight Up (2020)

Both Todd and Rory are having a hard time . Todd's got an aversion to bodily fluids, making his sexuality almost beside the point, and wannabe actor Rory just lost her day job and isn't making much of an impression in her hoped-for profession. When they meet, there's an obvious, immediate connection and they each seem to finally "fit" with the other in a way they've never before experienced. Is a mental match enough?

Although I almost switched this off mere minutes into it, I'm very glad I stuck around. This "romance" had me going back and forth: is it better to focus on the platonic portions of a relationship? Can sex really be ignored in a healthy coupling? I think the answer is a little blurry and the film's ambiguous ending seems to agree.
