Clea DuVall: Happiest Season

It’s been more than a week since Hulu released Happiest Season, and queer TikTok and Twitter are alive with take after take about this film. I knew when I first watched that the tidal wave of analysis was coming, but I wasn't quite prepared for what hit my groups chats: takedowns of Harper (Mackenzie Davis), thirst-monologues about Riley (Aubrey Plaza), ruminations on the toxicity of that coming-out scene, anger over such an emotionally rough movie being marketed during the holidays, and…more Aubrey Plaza thirst.
