I loved the movie Three Months by Jared Frieder and I am baffled that there is no fanfiction about what's next for Caleb! His life in New York, art college, photography, finding a community and maybe love?

Also the movie left us hanging on the answer of those 3 months of waiting, which I loved. Whether he is positive or not, Caleb is going to have a wonderful life (and I want to read about it).

Anyway...

Three Months (2022)

Director: Jared Frieder

Stars: Troye Sivan, Viveik Kalra, Brianne Tju

Language: English

Length: 1h 44m

Coming-of-age film about Caleb, a South Florida teen. On the eve of his high school graduation, everything changes when he's exposed to HIV. While he waits three months for his results, he finds love in the most unlikely of places.

An HIV-themed movie for the new generation kids. While most of the older movies about such a theme are depressing, this movie has a lighter approach, but I have to be honest and say I didn’t really like Caleb’s attitude. He seems pretty annoyed and uninterested in anything for most of the movie and some of the lines he and his best friend Dara were saying (their jokes, comments and comebacks etc.) might have been funny to the new generation younger kinds who are into that kinda slang or humour or whatever, but to me it was mostly unnecessary and unfunny. However, even though Caleb’s character wasn’t exactly my cup of tea, I loved Estha. He was adorable.

Rating: 3/5

Troye is the lead in a feature film for MTV currently being filmed in Georgia call “Three Months” it is the story of Caleb a Jewish gay young man who is exposed to HIV and his three month wait for his results. It is described as a dark comedy. I personally am soo proud and so excited to see Troye shine in this movie, he is a great actor and hopefully we will hear some of his music in this movie as well. The write/director of the film is Jared Frieder (📷: Jared Frieder)

Film after film: Three Months (dir. Jared Frieder, 2022)

Sivan is a surprisingly effective lead of this pleasanty low-key and sweet, though heavily formulaic film. The hook is fresh: Sivan has three months of waiting ahead of him, until he knows whether he's hiv-free. What is built around it varies in quality. There's the mourning trope: his mother (Landecker, great) left him with his grandparents after his father died. She's mostly absent and then is brought for one scene that makes her miserably unlikeable. The grandparents, played by the power duo of Burstyn and Gossett Jr., are grumpy but empathetic and loving. There's the best friend and a new crush, both of whom struggle with their own tropey shit. What sticks out though is how those relationships overlap and create priorities in the protagonist who sometimes chooses badly and then sees the consequences. It's a smart and pleasantly-looking (this animated intro!) film, you know, more or less, everything that will happen throughout, but it's anyway immensely watchable.
