The Way He Looks at You

by Trent Sutton

READING - SEPTEMBER 8, 2023
Directed by Benjamin McElroy
Love can look like a lot of different things, but one thing is certain: love shouldn’t hurt. In the case of Will and Brandon, the hurt is subtle, lurking just beneath the surface, whereas in the case of Jason and Christian, the hurt is heavy, even tangible. Yet bruises of the heart can hurt just as much as bruises of the flesh, and uniquely queer complexities make untangling relational dynamics even more difficult. The Way He Looks at You is a look into the realities of gay marriage, illustrating that it is difficult in all the same ways that traditional marriages are, thus extending the much-needed conversation surrounding domestic violence to the queer community.
