I used to love the movie of this, back when I had barely watched any queer movies and didn't know how problematic it was (you know, with the actresses being treated horrendously and the movie being very male gaze-y with no idea how lesbian sex actually works), so I knew the story going into it. I was also aware that it had a different ending and wasn't caught off-guard by it. I actually liked this a lot! It showed the struggle of accepting yourself when you're surrounded by homophobic people everywhere, which I found to be pretty realistic. I also liked the art style a lot; the way there was barely any colour but all the blue colour stood out was a nice detail.
Honestly, the one thing I didn't like, apart from how anxious it made me, was that it featured a relationship between a teenager and a woman who most certainly was several years too old to still be attracted to a 16-year-old. That could've been done better or at least been acknowledged.
