This is a strange film that purports to be about gender identity but didn't seem to be about gender at all. The lead character J happens to be non-binary but the film is mostly about all kinds of other experiences in J's family, particularly about J's sister, an artist, getting married to a man from Iran, who is having issues with his own family. J's medical transition seemed to be a secondary plot and J seemed to be more concerned about not wanting to grow up at all rather than being concerned with gender.
I wonder whether the director thought the gender issue was just a trendy way to pitch the film. I also wonder whether the director was trying to show that gender is the least important thing to worry about in life.
This is the kind of film that would make me want to attend a question and answer session with the director.
