Mini-review:
What a powerful and impactful film. It left me both floored and speechless. I think it should be mandatory watching for younger queer generations, cause it feels like many of them have forgotten what our predecessors had to go through to build the society we currently live in (even if there still are many things to fix). It's definitely a hard, painful watch, but trust me when I tell you this: it's absolutely worth it. And even if you're not interested in these topics, the movie is superbly directed, written and acted. It's clear that everyone involved set out to give this story the special film it deserved. And thanks to them, I won't forget about 120 BPM anytime soon.
