She could walk into any trans gathering I know and instantly fit. We get a sense of her moving through a life and its challenges day by day. For me, the story is one of trying to stand up for oneself as a human being in life situations, and resilience when those efforts are met with disrespect and hostility. The line of the movie for me is "life goes on." You don't always get what you want, or even what you are entitled to, but sometimes, ...

Aside from a redundant earful about self-worth and how there is no deeper meaning in the most devastating events in our lives, this movie is the apex of caricaturing the issues of transgender people, dialing it up to the max level of absurdity, living the actual story of grief in a perpetual duel with it, and soaking it all in the dying jazz and whimsically off-putting soundtrack. At least the visuals are decent, and many delusions scenes are very well paced and integrated.  Aside from Vega, almost everyone's performance is atrocious, and it has nothing to do with the actors. Anyone who is an ally has no character. Their character is that they are an ally of Marina. Meanwhile, racist and transphobic scum are all caricatures. You've got it all: Orlando's son, who tells Marina he finds her disgusting but is visibly aroused by the thought of it. wife, who is madly jealous that her husband apparently chose her over their family, and doctors who call the police to snitch on Marina. truck full of the Chilean version of rednecks with "feathers and tar." Tone-deaf cops who are so disquieted that they simply humiliate Marina for no reason. I can go on and on because that's the whole movie, the most blunt and conspicuous things that definitely happen. Plus the obnoxious Orlando ghost sightings, which become increasingly amusing as the number increases. See more Read all reviews
