    Surprising tear jerker. Well-acted, written, and produced.

    Shortcomings

    ★★

    I didn't like it. I had high hopes for the movie for exploring certain themes that were current but not often dealt with face-on, but I couldn't get over my frustrations with the main character.
    He has little development throughout the movie, always a frustratingly narrow minded man who can’t see behind himself but also ironically can’t see into himself either. It was painful and rather boring watching a bitter cishet man feel sorry for himself just for his race…

    Had to take off half a star just for the horrible ending. But the rest — just mesmerizing. This is what cinema is supposed to aspire to.
