A young trans woman goes on vacation with her caring but overbearing Italian family in Luis De Filippis' debut feature, executive produced by Julia Fox.
observes its protagonist, it’s a shame her interiority is so opaque. For most of the languidly paced drama, Renata, who goes by Ren, remains a touch too out of reach. The distance, which initially activates genuine curiosity, eventually undermines the narrative De Filippis has so tenderly constructed.
Mona complains of her daughters — Ren and Siena — not spending enough time with her, a request she rarely makes of her absent son, Anthony. Sometimes she fights with her husband, Guido , because he doesn’t listen as much as he should. The girls get into it, too: Ren and Siena quarrel in the way sisters often do. Their confrontations are vicious exchanges of harsh sentiments, followed by moments of loving intimacy.
Newcomer Madonia gives us a Ren preoccupied by her thoughts. She communicates that through an impressive range of facial expressions, from the steely stares Ren throws Siena when the younger sister is at her cruelest to the eye rolls reserved for Mona’s self-deifying speeches.
