Great, mature movie to enjoy by LGBTQ people and probably a lot more others.
Loved this movie. I am most likely biased due to being a trans man who trained karate for 9 years, though. No one else wrote a review, so..It's a story about the various cages people are born or thrown into and their eventual escape. This includes themes of femininity, gender, relationships. The "most main of the 4" character is a trans man, and I very much liked his portrayal. This movie also features a lesbian relationship between 2 of the main characters, and it is beautifully handled.
This movie also touches upon fan-service and being comfortable doing things with your body. In my opinion, the "male gaze" of the camera wasn't predatory, the portrayal of fights as intense/erotic/sexy is part of the story and not just for the pleasure of the viewer.
Yes, there are sex scenes. Yes, that includes portrayal of abuse. Be warned.
TLDR: Great movie, good trans man character, good lesbian relationship. Not fetishy in how it handles these themes.

Love the representation <3
(TW: the movie had some rape and assault themes in it. It isn't that explicit and only shows a little bit of it)I love this movie. One of the best LGBTQIA+ Asian movies. It only had two sex scenes and as a person who doesn't enjoy (straight) sex scenes it was okay . I was really rooting for both relationships. I feel like I could relate to all of the main characters. I personally got so much gender envy from the trans man. I love him so much, All of the main characters were lovable. If you are queer, I would totally recommend it.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
