Yeah finally got around to watching it tonight and I was basically sobbing the whole time. It wasn't quite what I expected, but it was so amazingly good. In addition to capturing the feeling of being an egg and seeing someone like you. The connection hit really hard as well. It also just did an amazing job of conveying dysphoric disassociation. I also loved the use of monochrome lighting and fluorescent coloring to blur the feeling of real and unreal.

So yeah, absolutely amazing cathartic cry movie, though IDK if it's a great one to show to cis loved ones to show how it feels.

And it's made me feel the need to get around to watching Veneno, which I've been putting off for several years. I suppose I don't get to complain about not having enough great trans media if it exists and I don't watch it, so I guess I gotta go watch it. When I do I'll try to remember to post a review of it too. I've already seen the first episode and loved it.

After watching this movie, I just couldn't get out of my mind that... It could have been me.

I could have remained in denial my entire life, and realizing, 60 years from now (I if had still been alive I guess...), that it was not me, and that it was killing me. And this perspective terrified me.
