I can already tell it's one of those movies I need to watch more than once. I don't think I can give it an honest review, not just yet, because there's still so much I'm digesting - and I love it when movies do that to me, when they make me think about identity and question reality as I know it.

The movie should be called The Pink Opaque (not really a spoiler) as the common thread that connects the main characters and identities. What is the Pink Opaque? I'd say you need to watch to understand, but it's more likely you'd finish watching the movie asking this question. I feel this question is part of the point, at least for me.

What I've learned is that for transpeople, gender identity is gender and identity. It's not just about gender, but also about their identity as a person. As a being. And questioning it can happen when you're a kid, when you reach puberty, or when you're a 40 year old working for some local arcade and have a family, or... it can never happen. Maybe everything will always just fit out of sync or a bit odd. For some, the disturbance in their identity might mean their life as they know it is unbearable, while to others, it's "fine, everything is fine," at least for while, and yet, for others, it's just a minor annoyance. From that perspective, in a sense, we are all trans beings - somewhere on the spectrum between two absolutes that were never meant to be absolutes. The binary of gender is illusion. And while I'm personally comfortable with my gender (or I think I do? Hmm), it doesn't mean I don't question my identity, and part of my identity is my gender, which means I'm not comfortable with my gender...?

That's the sort of whirlpool of though I'm in right now, and that's just one layer of this movie, which is why I should watch it again at some point. Good stuff.
