Not really a film as much as it is a collection of scenes without much of a story, interspersed with real unsimulated sex and drug use. Absolutely loved Chapter i (the first 90 minutes), was extremely fascinated by Chapter ii (the remaining 180) - I love seeing trans rep where every character is just a fucking asshole. Most of the criticism related to those aspects that I’ve seen have been from people who clearly don’t understand that there is not a single moment in which we’re supposed to root for them - Traps literally puts on an SS officer hat as she’s being railed, it’s not a positive endorsement. Loved seeing Alice Maio Mackay make an appearance, her scene made me jump almost as hard as undertone did. Great musical numbers too.

been contemplating how i wanna review this.. at the end of the day you gotta respect the gumption of just making the film you want to make with such thorny characters (specifically such thorny trans characters) and creating something that’s so personal and tackles such challenging themes and having it become such a cult success but.. i didn’t think it was very successful with what it was trying to do and i didn’t particularly like it lol.. we shall see how the completed series fits into the culture but it is not very promising to me and i can only hope it inspires people to create their own, better films

Two people drift in different directions, both stranded in alienation because neither has the tools to outgrow 4chan logic. Still, beneath all the poison lies a life where untangling depression and hypersexuality might open a way toward real connection. There’s a huge heart here, but the film gets bogged down in terminally online bullshit. Think Rainer Werner Fassbinder's Love Exposure.
