Not really about gender identity
This is a strange film that purports to be about gender identity but didn’t seem to be about gender at all. The lead character J happens to be non-binary but the film is mostly about all kinds of other experiences in J’s family, particularly about J’s sister, an artist, getting married to a man from Iran, who is having issues with his own family. J’s medical transition seemed to be a secondary plot and J seemed to be more concerned about not wanting to grow up at all rather than being concerned with gender.I wonder whether the director thought the gender issue was just a trendy way to pitch the film. I also wonder whether the director was trying to show that gender is the least important thing to worry about in life.
This is the kind of film that would make me want to attend a question and answer session with the director.
They Don’t Wanna Grow Up
This film is an intimate portrait of a person – J or the eponymous “they” – who simply cannot decide if they want to become a man or a woman. They wish they could be a child forever. This indecision is a theme that director Anahita Ghazvinizadeh masterfully weaves into the entire story. Influenced by Robert Bresson’s concept of ellipsis and fragmentation, the film is subtle but visually beautiful, just like the main character J, excellently played by Rhys Fehrenbacher. One learns about gender nonconformity and comes to the realization that gender perhaps really doesn’t matter in the end as long as you have people who support you.
