This film was really beautiful and tender. It's rare to see such a joyful film about trans lives and rights. I thought they did a great job showing how small acts of allyship can make a difference and why transformation and growth are part of the human experience.
There were few scenes that were upsetting, but ultimately it showed that one must "confront lions"
The sound track was super fun too! It was interesting to see that Brazil is actually a more accepting place than America in many ways, even though they have some of the same prejudices and bigotry. It also showed that silence will not protect anyone.

"My mother told me to be a boy and not to argue, but since I'm stubborn I decided to be a transvestite" Unidunitê is different... A perfect, out-of-the-box teen movie for teens, a beautiful and delicate approach to being a trans teenager, it enchanted and moved me terribly... The soundtrack is a show in itself, the performance by @annemotareal is another show... I'm already looking forward to the sequel... #I Fell in Love #I Cried #Sisterhood

But a little bit bad of the ending, it almost ended too fast that I fell kind of strange.
I don't know what else to even say other then the pacing was all over the place and the story was almost incoherent. The premise sounded cute but I was a struggle to get through the whole 1 and a half. The trans representation was decent though.
A trans-social media-diva girl fiercely challenges the oppressive system found inside her new school in accomplished Brazilian filmmaker Gil Baroni's extravagantly delightful comedy. Facing the physical and emotional difficulties of transitioning from the big city to the country, and her early trans process, she battles all sorts of bullies with the support of her father and a group of outcasts, while dreaming of a first kiss. With Anna Celestino Mota giving life to the protagonist in a glittering first-time performance and accurately addressing intolerance and equality, it's a magically funny, inventively crafted and honest look at the teen trans world.
