It: Chapter Two Review: An Ambitious, Worthwhile Sequel
This is ambitious horror filmmaking, and in a lot of ways, I fully admire its ambitions. For me, the film’s sloppiness defines its overall quality.
On The Path To Leo
A 17-year-old student decides to have her breasts removed and transition to a male identity. Her mother, Ana, resists, convinced that only biological sex exists. But faced with her child’s insistence, she is forced to confront the roots of her fear. After an emotional journey through motherhood, documented in home videos, Ana comes to support her child’s upcoming surgery, who, in honor of the zodiac sign of their parents, chooses the name Leo.

An aspect of She-Ra that I find refreshing is even though a large portion of the cast is on the LGBTQ+ Spectrum, being gay is never mentioned. While this might initially sound like a negative thing, in the show’s land of Etheria being on the gay spectrum is shown to be so common and normalized that straight isn’t the default. As much as there is to appreciate about narratives revolving around the obstacles that may come from being non-heteronormative, it’s nice to get immersed in a world where no one bats an eye at all to any sort of differing identity.
