Living in a DDLG relationship (where both partners are adults and the other adult partner enjoys age regression to a teenage girl) we watched this together in a local art cinema with my partner. Enjoyed it immensely. My girl changed her ringtone to the theme song of the film.
We could recognize many themes of the movie in our own relationship. The silliness and playfulness of the girl, which is at the same time both infuriating and lovely. The mutual love, which nevertheless does not carry over all obstacles. I happen to write at home, so it is easy to identify the constant interruptions and the agravation caused by them. Nevertheless, Twinky loved Scott and tried to be silent, but also took the demands of silence personally. One of the most touching moments of the movies is the line where Twinky tells Scott, that he has to take both the roles of father and lover. Is it possible?
Grown up partner - younger girl relations are nowadays almost invariably portrayed following to the Lolita trope, in which the old partner is abusive. Twinky was a lovely movie, which portrays realistically the mutual attraction between an adult male and a young silly lively girl, which can grow into love, but also the challenges caused by the gap in age and sentiment. It is worth to note that despite Scott's and Twinky's relationship not standing up to the test of time, both still cared deeply for each other even after everything.
Filmography had some neat tricks, but nothing spectacular. The movie is courageous in exploring this theme, which was possible in the more relaxed times of the 1970's. Despite touching some deep themes, the movie itself is not very deep, but playful - which from another perspective perfectly suits the theme.
