“I saw this film last night at the Berlinale film festival with a large crowd on the big screen, and enjoyed it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlthough the film deals with complex issues like a trans womanu0026#39;s relationship with a gay man – it is handled maturely, with honesty and compassion, and at no time comes across as preachy or u0026#39;wokeu0026#39;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe performances by Thea Ehre and Timocin Ziegler were outstanding; but Theau0026#39;s performance was especially compelling.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie feels like a very modern classic film noir idea, with complex overlapping stories and character motivations.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSadly though, I felt the threads of the crime story became overly complex, and at the end I wasnu0026#39;t sure why some characters did what they did.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt could have been a little shorter and a little tighter.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film is shot very well, it seems to take our world and turn the contrast and saturation up, to become larger than life yet still recognisable.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eModern, familiar, and yet mysterious and film noir-ish.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt reminded me a little bit of Bladerunner and the book Do Androidu0026#39;s Dream of Electric Sheep.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA little confusing, but still satisfying and immersive.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWorth a watch.”
