    ★★

    Trying to be so edgy it’s just clunky. The campiness was swallowed up by bad acting from the peripheral characters. Would have been better as a short.

    ★★

    I am really disappointed by this movie.  Cassandro’s life and actual story of his rise is so much more interesting.
    This movie feels like it was made by people who only want to see LGBTQ as their struggle with coming out, rather than their actual lives. Read Cassandro’s Wikipedia entry and you’ll see plenty these filmmakers could have covered. Instead, this script fell flat by not presenting any stakes for Cassandro, creating very hollow relationships with the people closest to him, and taking the power away from Cassandro’s real story. 
    Happy to see Gael Garcia Bernal, but the energy of the entire film didn’t match his.

    This is like sitting through a visual essay by a second year communications student who just got into deep state conspiracy theories. 

    Side note: not good for people who are photosensitive.

    Male fantasy rom-com. Insecure women and male redemption arcs. The soundtrack and few grainy film scenes attempt to give legitimacy to a pathetic script and hollow characters.
