I just watched this movie and it was so cool and nostalgic at the same time. It is at times watching a movie within a movie and it is set in the 90s. It also touches on queer/ LGBTQ of do you accept yourself or do you hide who you are.
I finally got around to watching it and what a beautiful and terrifying experience. It can definitely be seen as an allegory for when a transgender person experiences the moment in which they realize that their identity doesnโt correspond or coincide with their assigned gender. A journey of self-discovery but also with a reminder that time doesnโt wait for no one and that we can all get stuck in a place of existential dread/crisis.
The soundtrack is amazing as well.
Queer cinematic excellence told through the trans lens of visionary director and writer Jane Schoenburn examining the dystopia that is suburban New Jersey, identity, belonging, and monster of the week tv shows
It really hit close to home, after watching I felt so many emotions all at once. I donโt want to give it away but I (unfortunately) related with the main character too much. Does that ever happen to anyone after a movie?
