NOTHING BAD, JUST SAD
This is a short film, so a quick watch. But only watch it if you want to be heartbroken and cry. This does NOT have a happy ending.All well done, decent scripting, good acting (Fluke is always very strong), a very interesting story and one that is rarely told. Nice to see trans characters handled with a modicum of respect. The first BL part of the series is very typical. Bullied gay boy and his straight secret crush. Their friendship is warm and tender, respectful.
But I have to say, this film personifies one of my greatest fears for the trans community - that they might make a "change" for someone else, not because it's truly a reflection of their authentic selves. This decision must be one of the hardest in life. I do believe that many people are born into the wrong bodies. But you get no sense that Champ wants to be Charm for any reason other than one off-handed statement. It's a huge change to go through based on one remark.
And because of that "mistake" this film ends in tragedy. Probably not realistic. Easily solved with just a few questions, but painful nonetheless.
A well-made film but one I will not watch again due to its tragic ending.
