Tap for spoiler
The other main character advocates for committing suicide as the answer to their predicament. All bodies feel like a prison. They get old and ache some don’t provide the right chemicals or their brains hurt them. It’s not a problem only belonging to the trans community and the other main character seems predatory while the main character is beyond reach and does absolutely nothing the whole film.
I can relate to the message but the message was bad from my perspective and the execution not better. Maybe because it’s so incredibly pointed that I don’t get it but that doesn’t make it any better that it’s for a specific audience and everyone else is left stranded. I got the message I just thought it poorly faced it.

I’m a cishet and having grown up with quite a restrictive and repressive upbringing, the themes of “well who am I really?” and feeling like your environment and inability to discover who you truly are is slowly suffocating are definitely themes from the movie that resonated with me.

That’s a totally fair point. I just recall people leaving the theater going “what the hell was that all about?” Lol
