Moves at different paces and levels, queer and deterministic and surreal by degrees, but somehow flat to me.
It's weird, but in the kind of way that kept me turning pages to try and figure out wth was happening. There's an odd exchange between characters super early, and that hook - so nonchalantly dropped - isn't resolved and revealed until almost the very end. It's very satisfying. I don't know if the jumping around will bother some people? It's a lot, but if you can roll with it, it does all come together. I did get a little teary about one relationship, so I can say the characters are deeply explored and feel like real people. This one was a lot of fun, and I think it would make a great movie.
