Love Actually is not the heartwarming romcom you’re remembering
It also seems astonishingly heteronormative: nine stories, all straight. Same-sex romance is gently mocked, but never made visible or celebrated . Obviously everyone hopes that the reunion will see ageing rock star Billy Mack and his devoted manager finally getting together. I’d bet on the lack of gay narratives being addressed in some way, at least.What about the representation of women? We can but hope. Obviously,is hardly the only film to present female characters as pure wish fulfilment.
