But the biggest draw is how the film elevates LGBTQ+ love. It is still relatively uncommon for queer stories to be at the forefront of mainstream media, and when they are, characters are so often closeted, lonely, and beset by tragedy.

Not so in Crush. With an openly gay protagonist subverting the formula of the genre, the lens is joyfully, unapologetically queer. What’s more, the film bestows a refreshingly progressive storyline, drawing together timeless romance tropes, youthful mischief and an authentic portrayal of what LGBTQ+ life is like for the next generation. And with a requisite dose of Californian sunshine, Crush won’t fail to put you in the mood for summer.

We’re calling it: this might just be Hulu’s best offering to date.

Crush is available to stream now on Hulu and Disney+
