If the other reviews are any reflection, there seems to be a semi boycott on viewing this film by the LGBT community. I would not recommend any straight audiences to go out of their way to see it either, as you will likely be as confused as I was by the relationships. Margaret Qualley is very easy on the eyes though. I would rate this 5.2/10

I am not sure why there's such a virulent backlash against this film, especially as most of the negative reviews here are from people who have obviously not even see the film, but are jumping on some bandwagon. It's written by a lesbian, directed by a trans man and ALL the trans characters are played by trans actors (including MJ Rodriquez of POSE fame and first-timer Leo Sheng, who is a real find). The trans characters are treated with respect and sensitivity - no, they are not flawless, but that would make for a very dull film. As a cis gendered gay man, I came away with much more understanding and appreciation of the struggles in the trans community. It's not a perfect film, but I think it's heart is in the right place - and I enjoyed it.

If you are apart of the LGBTQ+ community do not watch this movie. Not worth your money, time or brain cells.

Once you get past the inaccuracies of the dynamic between lesbians and transgender men, it's clear that this movie is just straight up boring. The protagonist is boring, the plot is boring, and the way the movie is shot is boring. Just not worth watching, in my opinion.

I was already EXTREMELY disgusted at how they portrayed the love interest, as well as the main character. Both were despicable and were just horrible people. The depiction of lesbians was very insulting. Can't believe they made this trash book into a trash movie. Trust me, don't waste your time. It's an outrage.
