Overall, 18 Presents feels more like a soap opera than a drama, and I feel bad for saying that since the concept is based off a tragic story (even though it’s loosely). I’m sure other people will find this film emotional for them, but as for me, it’s bland and forgettable.
People are so much deeper and far more extraordinary than what gender they were assigned at birth.
Considering the runtime, I expected each scene to hit harder as opposed to a series of montages and vignettes.
Hokum is an enjoyable horror film that will probably get a little under your skin, but it isn’t the tour de force that you might be expecting.
