You Tryna Say You Love Me? (2026) Tribeca 2026


One of the best films of Tribeca and of 2026 is this magnificent tale of the meeting of a young man in college and his crush in a diner.

A perfect encapsulation of a moment in time (one that I would love to see expanded) this film is way more than just a simple romance. Exploring numerous subjects in it's brief run time the film largely is exploration about how do we express ourselves when we were never given the tools to do so? In this case how do you say I love you when no one ever said it to you.

I was crushed. I connected to this film in 14 different ways and then some. I saw and felt every emotion in this film and when it was done I emailed the great love of my life to say thank you for giving me the words and teaching me how to express myself.

I can not tell you how great this film is. 

And  do not disengage from the film when the end credits start to roll because what we see under them is a perfect continuation of the action- there is emotion there if you pay attention.

As of this writing this is one of the top five films of 2026 for me.

See this film.
