    Amazingly we watched the entire movie but it was extremely painful to watch. Boring & Stupid IMHO:-(

    This movie was amazing. An absolutely devastating blow to the mask I didn't even realize I was wearing. I'm trans and queer, so I was right in the mark for this. This was so good that it made me want to claw my skin off, which really just means it makes me think more about myself and how I present myself. I honestly think I needed to watch this. Additionally, I wish I could find more queer reviews on it that didn't just ignore the blatant transgender themes and only tried to go for an angle on nostalgia or capitalism. It was about how queer and especially trans people interact with the world. It is queer horror in its purest sense, and I felt like screaming after watching it. Truly amazing experience

    I must confess, I am still pretty unsure that I got the deeper meaning of this film, but the acting by Justice Smith and Brigette Lundy-Payne is really phenomenal. This film is a stylistic treat that tackles difference and loneliness in a way that leaves me wishing for a better world. It is a movie that deserves watching.

    This movie was really weird, but it was amazing. The vibe the movie gave off was so nostalgic and heartwarming, and the story was compelling. I definitely recommend this for drama fans!

    There is something to be said about a film that feels so alluring and original despite essentially being a mash-up of The Truman Show, Donnie Darko and Boyhood.

    So bad that I had to make the effort to login to give it 1 star. Turned it off after struggling through 30minutes.

    This movie is a definitely a “if you get it, you get it” movie. It’s quiet and leaves some things up for interpretation for the most part. There’s lots of symbolism that you’d have to go back and rewatch to fully understand. Personally, I started to really love the movie by the end of it. It’s highly impactful and emotional. In fact, I think this is the most I’ve cried to a movie EVER. 10/10 would recommend for people that have felt like hiding themselves is for the better.

    Absolutely waist of time. Doesn’t matter how much you hide behind “art type of cinema”. It was utterly disappointing and just over all bad. Some framing and the lighting was ok and the soundtrack was nice, but that’s about it.

    I don’t think I really got this but it did seem to achieve a unique atmosphere which I could appreciate.
