I’d just like to know one thing: Is it like Schoenbrun’s last movie, where there are all those long, slow scenes without much dialogue or plot? I’ll watch it anyway, but I’d like to know if it’s maybe a bit less strenuous to watch.
hmm. not really? there’s a lengthy scene where the 2 leads are in a bar watching 2 musical performances, but that’s basically it iirc. it’s kinda slow, but i think mostly it’s moving the whole time
like i wouldn’t say that for certain? but it’s definitely better than any book i’ve read when it comes to the very specific parts of being trans that’s it’s about. specifically it so perfectly embodies being a closeted kid throwing yourself into nerd shit as an escape from the crushing dysphoria everything else lays on you. wrote a whole thing if you’d like to know more about the vibe
you should watch i saw the tv glow. it might be the best piece of trans art i’ve ever seen
i wrote a big long effortpost which isn’t very good but it’s there and you should read it and then watch the movie
