    basically, they took the slogan “be gay, do crime” and made it a movie…and it worked SOOOO WELL!! This was really good and I’m honestly just upset I didn’t know about this one before

    My therapist likes to give me homework sometimes and this week’s assignment was to watch this movie.

    Also, I absolutely LOVED what the creators did when building the “world of the mind”; it made the whole journey very fun to watch!!

    100% recommend for anyone wanting a good sci-fi.
