From my understanding, this was meant to be a satirical take on the sexual repression and religious oppressiveness of Catholicism and its nunneries, but the utter lack of plot makes it like a long winding adult film. There was a lot of possibility with the opening few shots and overall set, costume, and visuals, but the writing fell flat.

I can't even give this a rating. It's like a school project someone did a middle school. Impressive for the time, especially considering it was animated entirely on MSX software, but no actual substance. You would be better off rating a nickelodeon commercial.

"I know, that I am very fortunate to have a lady friend who just happens to have an Adam's Apple."
This movie is the epitome of queer joy. There are countless moments when it could have been just another movie showing the hardships and dangers of being a trans woman in 90s America, but makes the choice not to. It falls under the original intentions of camp: losing yourself in the superficial to forget the grittiness of everyday life.
It…
Too experimental for my taste, and the language barrier definitely did not help. The plot was easier to follow than Funeral Parade of Roses but the characters were clearly underdeveloped and the themes didn't have a chance to be fully fleshed out by the end of the film. Still a fun watch, but dragged a bit in the middle.
