Popping The Question

When both the film’s title and the synopsis alludes to a proposal, we know what’s about to happen! However, the synopsis also throws us a curveball, making us ask the question: what is Lizzie’s surprise? While it was a surprise, I sadly wasn’t that impressed. Despite being quite confused with Lizzie’s mid-proposal surprise and the effect it has on the moment, “Popping The Question” is still a cute lesbian film. Khorasani remarked in her director’s statement that her goal is to bring a much-needed positive representation to LGBTQ+ stories. And while I always feel a bit awkward when I’m not a huge fan of a film I’ve been asked to review, I fully support her intention. We NEED more queer representation in cinema and media, including the sapphic stories that Khorasani and the team behind Lesflicks promote.
