Movie Reviews

‘My Old Ass’ Tells an Original Bisexual Coming-of-Age Tale — but Does It Do It Well?

While I find the idea of documenting a young girl’s journey into her bisexuality as a refreshing, exciting exploration, the poor storytelling and narrative structure of the film left me with some concerns.

A Refreshing Trans Memoir More Concerned by What Is Gained by Transition Than What Is Lost

The backlash against trans people in recent years has no doubt left many of us feeling as if there will never be relief from the constant antagonism and legislative damnation. Books can’t necessarily change the way our society is operating, but at the very least, they can give us a new way to look at and govern our own lives.
