just saw i saw the tv glow. the best trans movie i've ever seen, never felt more seen by a movie. sitting in the theater as the credits roll and just crying because that could have been me
effort post coming later, genuinely mandatory viewing if you're transfem or questioning
no it's explicitly trans but in ways where it's really hard to talk about without spoiling. more details coming soon, once i'm done figuring out how to write about this
very vague spoilers
the main character is trans but closeted and too scared to transition, and spends the movie talking around this fact. but it's the text of the movie even though those words are never explicitly said

fuck.... i keep hearing about how good it is but i absolutely can't STAND horror anything. it took a very,, very large carveout for me to finish Omori
it's not really horror? it's a tragedy. i mean it's horrifying, but it isn't scary
the real horror
is the main character just living her life presenting as male forever, too scared to transition
!! Effortpost !!
writing it rn!
Cooking!
cooked
shit, I had no idea this was a trans movie, now I gotta see it.
A24 really coming in hot with the queer rep this year, releasing a lesbian movie and a trans movie back to back.
you GOTTA
cannot emphasize enough how good this movie is as a trans movie
oh wait, so is it not explicitly a trans movie?

you're piqued my interest.
if I don't see this in theater I'll at least rent or buy it when it hits home video.
here's the longer effortpost, if you'd like some more details
would it be too on the nose if i saw this movie in boymode
yes
you should do it though, it will wreck you
spoiler
you should meet the main character where she's at, she's also boymoding the whole time!
