What a Feeling Is the Sapphic Rom-Com We All Deserved

What a Feeling completely took me by surprise. This sapphic romantic comedy is sweet, funny, incredibly charming, and full of queer joy — and I genuinely cannot believe it took me this long to discover it. At the heart of What a Feeling are Marie Theres and Fa, two grown women who could not be more different, but somehow find themselves falling for each other. It is a funny, messy, feel-good lesbian love story about starting over, embracing your sexuality later in life, and discovering that falling in love does not have an expiration date. Marie Theres has spent more than twenty years married to a man, building the life she thought she wanted. But after her marriage suddenly falls apart, one unexpected night at a lesbian bar brings Fa into her life — a confident, openly lesbian woman who seems to have everything figured out. Except, of course, things are never quite that simple. In today’s review, I am talking about Marie Theres and Fa’s relationship, the film’s late-in-life sapphic storyline, its wonderful queer community, and why this little romantic comedy deserves far more attention. And honestly, I want more stories like this.
