I wanted to watch this again because last time I watched it I got a bit distracted and wasn’t understanding it properly then I realised that it was plot itself that I didn’t understand it was not put together well at all it is very confusing. The way the director tried to tie in the story of Jacob’s grandmother didn’t work well, Christine was very ableist saying the R word multiple times, there was casual anti semitism & internalised transphobia. The director really should of done more with Jacob’s identity I do feel that he was a trans girl but didn’t want to admit it due to transphobia. I would like to see a remake of this movie with a better director because this movie has potential to be really good.
