"Like the crying game, this is an early movie that stumbles quite a lot: Leon is misgendered a lot by the man who loves him, and she’s played by a cis man (as you can gather from this list I am not the pickiest when it comes to this element, there’s so few movies about us as it is, so let me enjoy what I can). Where I love this movie is how tender it is. Sonny cares about everyone. He releases people when they need help, and his reason for the risky, poorly researched heist is to help Leon afford"
