They (2017)

They: Directed by Anahita Ghazvinizadeh. With Rhys Fehrenbacher, Kooyar Hosseini Golkou, Nicole Coffineau, Norma Moruzzi. Fourteen-year-old J goes by the pronoun ‘They’ and lives with their parents in the suburbs of Chicago. J is exploring their gender identity while taking hormone blockers to postpone puberty. After two years of medication and therapy, J has to make a decision whether or not to transition. Over this crucial weekend while their parents are away, J’s sister Lauren and her maybe/maybe-not Iranian partner Araz arrive to take care of ‘They.’

“The cinematography and direction are gorgeous, and u0026quot;Theyu0026quot; is a constant visual feast. The premise is extremely interesting, and the movie deals with it with good taste and subtelty. So it is a bit frustrating that the narrative tends to scatter. With a better focus in the writing, u0026quot;Theyu0026quot; could have become a classic.”
