      Three generations

      The cast has a strong lineup. Although Naomi has wrinkles, her appearance and acting skills are still online. Sister Elle's acting skills should not be underestimated. The madness and screaming after knowing her life is very real. Three weird generations, grandma homosexual, mother cheating, daughter is transgender, but no matter how life changes or helpless, family love is still the source of all support. Naomi's film and television works in the past two years are very productive, and the...

      We are all small, we are all worthy of love and be loved

      Often in a family that outsiders seem to be cool, the family will have some contradictions and specialities that are more or less different from ordinary families. In fact, it is special and will eventually return to love and tolerance. After all, as human beings, we are all small and loving. And being loved has always been what we follow. The theme of the film is very good, the rhythm of the actors is grasped, and the details are very lifelike. In the slightly mediocre rhythm of the plot,...

      LGBT is not Freak

      At the beginning, Lei said that he wanted to be a boy, dressed as a man, slid on a skateboard, exercised his muscles, played electronic music, wrapped his chest, and shaved his head. Many small details contained his desire to be a boy. Whether sitting or lying down, he was masculine and smiled hard. Many of them are limited to Ellie’s own temperament and can be regarded as good interpretations

      The laughs in the film appear in a non-obtrusive and gentle narrative style, which is very...

      This configuration is a bit wasteful

      At this time last year, there was a "Walking with Grandma" that won my heart. The lesbian status of the grandmother led to the story of three generations of women in a family. This year is about the same time this year is the story of the "woman" of a family led by transgender. It is a pity that this movie with such a strong actor configuration is not as surprising as the niche movie grandmother.

      We don’t have to focus on the trans-male ray. In fact, I am looking forward to...

      If LGBT is no longer a topic...

      This LGBT-themed movie does not have very intense plots and conflicts. All conflicts are hidden in the hearts of several characters.

      Since it is an LGBT movie, let's talk about LGBT, a topic that is now very hot all over the world. Maybe this topic has never been cold. Just because it is in conflict with the human morality that has been popular for thousands of years, LGBT is still a problem in the slow evolution of human society, but it is not like eating and drinking water and has...

      I am so glad that I am a girl who lives in a girl's body. I am so glad that we live in an era where we can gradually understand and accept. Although it is not easy, family members are always the strongest...

      Very warm, three generations are very special: grandma is really cool, mother has a lot of dramas but loves children is sincere, Ray insists on being himself worthy of being called...

      To tell you the truth, the first half is really good, the back is a little loose, but fortunately, the acting skills of glutinous rice are all up to her. ....

      The plot is full of horse-grabbing sense, but Elle Fanning's monologue at the beginning of the film expresses my heart: "Every year when I blow out the birthday candles, I make the same wish, I wish I was a...

    Evaluation action

    "About Ray" is a film about transgender and identity, but the film does not define transgender. The director Gaby Delar originally wanted to make a film about parenting, through parental supervision of a flammable teenager The troublesome things to bring about most of the dramatic potential of the film. Although the director is good at shooting adolescent challenge films, the effect of the film is not satisfactory. The film sometimes...
