I Was Just Saying

Queer women desperately need a holiday rom-com, especially because watching Love Actually becomes more and more insufferable every year now that Feminist Hivemind has collectively acknowledged that the movie is a creepy boner-centered flick masquerading as a deep, saccharine Statement About Love. (The "actually" in the title should have been the first tip-off, but alas).

Welp, via Hollywood Reporter:

 "Kristen Stewart is in talks to star in Temple Hill Entertainment and TriStar Pictures' Happiest Season, a same-sex romantic comedy from director Clea DuVall and writing partner Mary Holland, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

Happiest Season portrays a young woman whose plan to propose to her girlfriend while at her family’s annual holiday party is upended when she discovers her partner hasn’t yet come out to her conservative parents."

This plot sounds slightly like the plot in Jenny's Wedding (movie review: never forget), but I have confidence that in Clea DuVall's hands, it will be oh-so-much better.
