Gruesome and emotional, I really felt for most of the deeply flawed characters in the film. One of my favorites with Kristen Stewart! I really loved experiencing a widely released lesbian film in theaters and was totally surprised by what unfolded.
Going into the movie I didn’t have context past the vaguely surrealist trailers and the knowledge that Alejandro wanted to be a toy designer. It ended up being a deep cutting story that depicted larger than life, childlike ideas and visuals in a way that felt very grounded in the world. The movie was both relatable and inspirational.
Both devastating and optimistic, the satire and rawness of this film are both poignant but didn’t mesh as seamlessly as I hoped. Overall an enjoyable experience that I plan to revisit again!
