No Oscar Nod!

[cseanr · 1/10 · 1 March 2024]

I was looking forward to watching this movie, but was extremely let down by the final credits. The acting, to start, was very novice and uninspiring and continued this way throughout the generic film.

This really could have been done so much better than just a bunch of friends decidedly getting together to create a movie that was less than lackluster. The lead trans actress continually whined throughout the movie and went from "why you doing that" to "why did you do that to me", as well as carrying a machine gun in the actresses backseat readily available in the vehicle.

The club scene looked like it was filmed in someone's basement aside from the flashing lights and boom box which were probably nothing more than Christmas blinking lights and someone's smartphone.

The film attempted to throw some "gotcha" moments, but at the end of the day, completed failed overall.

Great movie!!

Aside from some amateurish filming moments, this was a very interesting movie. I really love the male actors. They were totally believable. I think the main character was also believable. That particular character had to grow on me.

I have seen a few movies related to this genre but this is truly one of the best acted. It almost put me back into the 1990s movies about hitting the block. Again the main reason this movie did not get a 10 from me was some of sound and visuals.

From Noah's Arc, Moonlight & Punks...no movie had such a creative mix of alternative lifestyles with trans lives. I would recommend it to anyone who simply want to learn more about a life they are unfamiliar with or they want to see lit up on screen.
