There has been a lot of criticism from the LGBTQ (not sure if those are all the letters currently in use, to be honest) community of cisgender director Lukas Dhont’s directorial debut, Girl, based on a real life account of a 15-year-old girl, born in the body of a boy, who has aspirations of one day becoming a ballet dancer. I guess I’m not qualified to appreciate or refute that criticism, but let me say this: I felt a lot of her pain through the artistry of this beautiful movie, and so did our audience. Once again this week, a ripple of applause spread through the room.

And then there was banana bread 🙂

Our short tonight was a venerable favorite from MovieNight, and it remains timeless: Over Time, directed by Oury Atlan, Thibaut Berland, and Damien Ferrié. Sadly, it is titled “Overtime” on Vimeo, rather than “Over Time”, which is kind of the whole point.
