BAD EXECUTION of good intentions. I nearly walked out after 15 minutes (it was like sitting in Film Prod.1 again, with every mistake demo'ed (let's cross the 180, forget to white balance, use jarring random 20 seconds cuts of disparate musicBAD EXECUTION of good intentions. I nearly walked out after 15 minutes (it was like sitting in Film Prod.1 again, with every mistake demo'ed (let's cross the 180, forget to white balance, use jarring random 20 seconds cuts of disparate music cause we can't afford to pay for a consistent track.) Really AWFUL. The trannie-actors are winning enough once they warm up ... but character's are one note 90% of the time. I too don't get why it's a critical darling ... it's more sleazy than gritty, ugly-amateurish than avant garde and the characters are more petty-cruel to each other than deep-loyal (though there are a few moments.) It's a B-movie: overacted, badly crafted slice-of-life melodrama. Save you time and aesthetics!… Expand

This is a dreadful piece of film making and it's completely beyond me why anyone would rate it so highly. The acting is dire, the script ridiculous. It's not just bad, it's diabolical. If this is what currently garners rave reviews, thenThis is a dreadful piece of film making and it's completely beyond me why anyone would rate it so highly. The acting is dire, the script ridiculous. It's not just bad, it's diabolical. If this is what currently garners rave reviews, then cinema is screwed indeed. I love a film with indie sensibilities, but, whether pro or not, the actors have to be able to actually act. Appalling.… Expand

Amateurish: acting, editing, photography. There is no lighting design. The 1st 45 minutes are PUNISHING: stilted dialogue (esp. in street scenes), blown out shots (shooting into sun or bright windows), unintentional jump cuts, omg ... like aAmateurish: acting, editing, photography. There is no lighting design. The 1st 45 minutes are PUNISHING: stilted dialogue (esp. in street scenes), blown out shots (shooting into sun or bright windows), unintentional jump cuts, omg ... like a highschool film student's first try. Eventually ... w-a-y into the film, bit start to fall together and you feel a bit for the hapless hookers. THEN the lead attacks other street-person, drags her about for a few hours, slapping her and punching her face into bars and walls when she tries to get away (this, I guess is "funny" street justice? Both leads and their john trash another persons life in ending climax ... and all think it's amusing. I lost my smidgeon of empathy about then. Yes, its a side of life we arthouse folk don't often see: blowjobs in carwashes, trans folk dissing each other at every turn (everyone they pass is a "hateful **** BUT I don NOT get the stellar, 'heartfelt' reviews. I'm pro LGBT. But this movie is just hokey craftwise and MEAN character wise and uneven storywise. It's LESS than mediocre, with a few bright moments.… Expand
