Too sentimental. Completely fails in its realism. Characters are flat, but boy do they vibrate them. Animation functions the same way, humorously. I liked a few scenes near the beginning, I suppose. Artist who you think is much better than you being a fan of yours is a pretty good character dynamic, if it were explored.
The trans allegory is muddled and unconvincing, as well as needlessly cruel to a protagonist whose only crime is inaction. Ending takes the mental despair often felt in pre-transition and makes it a fact of the external world: an evil, alien world without empathy to accommodate Schoenbrun's Grimms-like cautionary fairy tale, and what for? There is no hope in this film, however much the didactic chalk message ("there is still time") wants you to believe otherwise. It's pretty, I guess,…
Hilarious. Looks really amazing, aside from some of the videogame-y sprites. Couldn’t stop laughing.
