Secondary
The film offers an empathetic and nuanced exploration of queer identity and relationships. It portrays LGBTQ+ characters with dignity and complexity, framing their challenges as external while affirming the inherent worth of their lives and love. The narrative contributes to a validating depiction of the queer experience.
