I loved the book, but won't be seeing this. I had no idea they were using film in it! Having loved the book I just can't see how it transfers to the stage which put me off.
Yes, it is a film, but a film made live, like a stage show. I usually don’t like video used in theatre, but this is different. You get Maggie Nelson’s words but also a visual interpretation of them. But it is more art than theatre.
I agree with your review of a production I also found moving and emotional. I also give it 5 stars. To avoid it because it utilises Mitchell's live cinema technique is to miss out on a wonderful interpretation that author Maggie Nelson has endorsed
