Unapologetically in your face, no fucks given queer, and I live for it
It has some good moments. There is a club scene near the beginning that has a great song/vibe for example. However it is too long and too dull for me. I'm glad more queer films are getting made but I won't be recommending this one.
Surreal, queer, creative.
Unique.
I really enjoyed this. It’s a bit surreal but not to the point of being distracting. It fits naturally into the story. I always enjoy moody red lighting (theatre scene). Looks great, sounds great, performances are great, characters are engaging, and there’s a mystery to be solved. Worth watching at least once.
