Who Am I Now?

I don't understand. Aren't we done with shameful gays? It's not the 1950s. They acting like it's illegal. You're in Canada!

Also this sexuality discovery for women in their early twenties might have made sense but these guys look like they're pushing forty. Who told them they looked young enough to play college students?

The straight white male is the only one making any sort of sense for a change.

Additional points: the acting is brutal, the violence between characters is ridiculous, toxic entitlement doesn't make you root for the characters I presume you're meant to get behind, the stereotypes are very 2001.

I liked this movie a lot, but I think some think its a love story when that is far from the truth.

The story dealt with some hard facts when dealing with our own sexuality, and it did so with a real world vision instead of movie magic romance.

It left me thinking, yet hopeful.

There are several caveats that need to be put into place for this film.

Firstly, It is so micro-budget it may as well have been shot on a camcorder. The cinematography and the sound mixing are very sub-par.

Secondly, The acting isn't great, and it certainly doesn't help that everyone is supposed to be in college but seems at least a decade too old.

Thirdly, This type of narrative with characters so scared of their sexual identity seems archaic. The attitudes are only slightly advanced from 'Desert Hearts' which was made in the 80s and set in the 50s.

The 'Coming Out' story, or more specifically its sub-genre the 'Coming Out To Yourself' story has been done to death in the English Speaking world and we don't necessarily need another one. Having said that, the by-the-numbers approach that this film has is adequate enough.

I think films should be judged in the context of their budget - and for a low budget drama, this delivers. It's a story about women struggling with their sexuality.

The film would have felt a little more timely in the 1970s, 80s, 90s, maybe 2000s, but by 2021 it's not as groundbreaking. But not every film needs to break new ground. There is one hot love scene. Worth a look.

The story is so relatable and an important one to be told ! So genuine and raw. Loved it!
