FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://leakedcinema.com/en/movie/843527/TheIdeaofYou the fantasy here isn't about getting to fuck Harry Styles, it's more about having money to own a house/car in Los Angeles and being able to fly to New York on a whim so you can go fuck Harry Styles i think it's actually awesome that nicholas galitzine is only allowed to have men or milfs as love interests mid watching this, the guy sitting next me asked if this was a harry styles fanfic and when i told him it was, he sighed and walked out 😭😭😭 Do you know how many 40 year old women are going to be at Coachella next year because of this watched this with my mom and when it was over she said “this is how i felt about austin butler after elvis”
