Reviews
There were some very important themes conveyed in this short film that so many cis men and transmasc men can learn from this beautifully shot and haunting film. Pressured by so many external forces like society and family, toxic masculinity leads to behaviors found in this film. It’s a crisis and an epidemic that men need to deal with, and I love how this film brought that issue further into the foreground.
