The Wishmakers

About This Movie

The Wishmakers, directed by David Grotell, is this quirky blend of comedy and romance that captures a certain zeitgeist of the early 2010s. It follows three young gay men as they chase dreams in Los Angeles—a city that can feel both vibrant and isolating. The tone flits between light-hearted banter and deeper explorations of love and aspiration. There's this interesting social commentary woven through their journey, particularly around the impact of social media on relationships. The performances feel genuine, a touch raw at times, which adds to the authenticity of their experiences. The pacing is a little uneven, but it almost mirrors the chaotic nature of their summer. A really interesting snapshot of that era, and there's something oddly nostalgic about it.
