"so 90s and perfectly charming and quirky "

"I've heard this movie is more remembered for the sex scene which is wild because it's a movie about how queer identities have been systematically erased, particularly when compounded with other marginalized identities so queer people have to construct their own idols. I'm not going to say this is one of my all time favorite films, I have my issues with it but I think it's got a lot to say and is an interesting largely forgotten LGBTQ+ movie of the 90s."

"Brilliant. I kind of wish they would have given this creator her own tv series. "
