On June 24th 2015, Haley Kiyoko uploaded a music video that would alter the fabric of every queer woman's life for all eternity. Now, eleven years later, the video has amassed a baffling 163 million views , and since its original release has been transformed from a single to a book and now a feature film. Kiyoko's Girls Like Girls stars Maya Da Costa as Coley, a budding teenage girl who falls irrevocably in love with the ever-elusive Sonya, played by Myra Malloy . With an effortless, slow-moving approach, this film captures the fleeting beauty and hellish melodrama of coming of age and finding love when you're too young to do anything right with it.
