The Half of It

The Half Of It is a movie that follows the familiar content of teenage love, but with the direction of Alice Wu, the director has breathed a new breath for the message "there is no one right way to fall in love". The film received the Founders Award for Best Narrative Feature at the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival.

The Half Of It is not a simple romantic comedy with an ending whether or not they can be a couple. This is a character study, as well as a dissection of relationships. We are often used to finding the "other half" is true love, but what does that mean in the end? Is it necessary to bring a romance? There are many big questions that The Half Of It brings, the film encourages viewers to find bold moves for themselves, no matter what their definition of "other" or "love".
