    Jane just tweeted this: “Right before the interview I said to Justice and Brig, “in this one we’re super fans of Jim Carey’s THE MASK and we made the movie as a flimsy excuse to spread the gospel.” 😭😭😭

    If you are in your mid thirties and watched a lot of television as a kid you are simply going to love this film, it was wonderful. It could have easily slipped into camp, but somehow never did, it was sincere. The subtlety of how it played with the tropes of mid-nineties supernatural shows was masterful.

      I’m 24 but I still get wym even though it’s a love letter to your generation. It was giving me that My Babysistter’s A Vampire vibe but with a much creepier tone.

    Not sure if Jane has mentioned The Matrix as an influence on this movie, but I find it really interesting that this movie is basically The Matrix if Neo never woke up. Absolutely beautiful and heart wrenching movie to those that can relate

    The movie was so good, everybody talks about the Trans message in the film and I do think it is amazing and does a good job but this movie really has something for everyone, 90s nostalgia physiological horror, wasted potential, a matrix like plot, just every single bit of it I loved, favorite movie of the year so far

      It’s def not a movie for you then dawg. The director is nonbinary, and Owen is hinted to BE Isabel. That, if Owen would have gone with Tara into the dirt, could have been a transition from one reality into the reality of the Pink Opaque (Which is just an allegory for femininity), and if Owen had transitioned into Isabel for real, that would make Owen Transgender. Yes you can see it from multiple angles, but you cant claim that this movie is not both queer and trans. The whole conflict Owen faces is if he will become a girl.
