I saw this at International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) 2019.
It is a meta film about romcoms just like 'Beyond Clueless' (whose director was also at the screening apparently), which was about teen films
It was really good! in the film and in the QnA the director went hard on diversity which is superimportant
Some clip choices stuck out for me, like 'grosse point blank' popped up a few times but wasn't discussed at all and is to my mind quite a subversive romcom.
The end of the romcom as a genre was rued, but maybe more attention could be paid to how bad later versions were .. i'm thinking about films like 'there's something about mary' for example
