    The scene of fluttering skirts on the roof of the car in the desert is really amazing. Bernadette turned out to be the most complete and moving character. Felicia’s childhood story can’t be too great, bravo!

    [Taiwan Queer Film Festival Screening] I didn't expect that Hugo Weaving and Guy Pearce actually acted in pseudo-mother-themed movies in their early years, and there is almost no sense of disobedience in the coquettish style of men disguising as women. It was really crazy and uninhibited, laughing and scolding, and showing anger, and the audience clapped and laughed many times. BGM is a super classic track. The movie shows the self-identity and inner world of the practitioners of the masquerade dance and dance, but it feels that the depth is not enough, and the ending can be improved.

  • Bernadette: [to Felicia] I've said it before, and I'll say it again: "No more fucking ABBA!"
