Synopsis
Kyle compliments his friend Ryan: "You look great, dude." This innocuous statement turns what should have been a normal hang into a comically tense negotiation of masculinity and mental health. Amidst all the discourse and progress on straight male vulnerability, You Look Great asks: why do positivity and encouragement STILL feel taboo?
