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.

Just finished watching the movie. It reminded me of feelings I had for almost a year, wading through the emotions of figuring out who I am really supposed to be. Job changes kind of took the forefront of my mind but I have settled in. I guess this reminded me that there are things about me that I need to remember to not forget.

    Right at the start, the appearance of Maddie from a distance looked just like my past coworker who was part of my awakening moment. Especially the dark hair in a ponytail and framing around the face. That was quite an addition to my emotions in the movie.
