"hey our film is actually really good! but mostly i just absolutely loved making it and the people i met whilst doing so," Rachel wrote.

She continued, "go see it! give it a chance. we have an 85% audience score for a reason."

"it’s unnecessary," Rachel wrote. "and i know, i know, 'if you can’t handle the heat…' and all that nonsense, and you’re right. but our film is actually very good."

"it’s just cool to hate on fun nowadays. that’s okay. we’re good," Rachel concluded, adding a ❤️ emoji.
