    This two hour long movie with a $20 million budget could have been a shorter, better, more narratively cohesive porno. But what an entertaining two hours it was…

    Quietly devastating.

    I won’t write a full review until it’s sunk in — this is the kind of movie that seeps into you slowly, through your skin. I’ll have to sit with it a bit.

    My first movie logged to letterboxd in real time, and my first review. I'll keep it short and sweet. I came for Liv and was unsurprised when their performance exceeded expectations; the cinematography is beyond excellent; the film as a whole is a thoughtful and stirring portrayal of transness. Some of the dialogue on gender felt a liiittle cliche for a 2020 film, especially when the film felt fresh and interesting in its overall execution, but nothing I couldn't overlook.

    No star rating, as they stress me out.
