Alice Júnior

"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

Alice Júnior is a trans YouTuber surrounded by freedom and pampering. After moving with her father to a small town where the school seems to have stopped in time, the young woman needs to survive high school and prejudice to achieve her greatest desire: to have her first kiss.

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.

But a little bit bad of the ending, it almost ended too fast that I fell kind of strange.

Shows the ups and downs of growing up lgbtq while just trying to be yourself. Moments of rejection combatted with moments of acceptance, confidence, and true joy. Love the fun upbeat style of the movie and the lovely friendships made along the way.

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.
