CHANGES
Today's gay film was the German
I was wary of this but it was so highly recommended.
A transgender F>M goes to the city to live next to his best lesbian friend and meets a gay man. This is the story of the transitioning and the relationship. How odd it seems.
And this film gets through it, over it and runs with it.
The acting is superb. The side stories are satisfying.
There is bias and condemnation and difficulty and the courage of the main character, Lukas, is undeniable.
The negative stuff all seems trivial in comparison to the spirit of this wonderful young person who is undergoing this journey.
The man with whom he falls in love is ideal for this, a bad boy, a hunk with a heart of gold.
The relationship is up and down and back and forth as all strong relationships tend to be.
Very real. Very heart felt. Very good.
I will give it a 5 out of Netflix5.
