CGiii Comment
Littered with ridiculous and/or irrelevant scenes. Not a lot of dialogue. Seriously bad editing. Shabby dream sequences galore.
It is NOT lyrical, it is NOT surreal, it is inept.
A snore-fest - reminiscent of Van Sant stuff...oooh he was the producer.
Homopotism....a new and apt word.
Dreadful.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Junior high in a time of rotary phones. Cougars have been spotted in the area. Logan is 13, the odd kid, with an active imagination and few friends. His young, single mother seems stressed. Latency is giving way to puberty, and Logan, who keeps a tube of lipstick in his dresser, may be gay or, more mysterious, transgender. He stares at himself in the mirror. He becomes friends with Rodeo, older and more mature, good-looking, with girlfriends. They take walks. Logan calls Rodeo and pretends to be a girl. Will he disclose himself to Rodeo? The kids at school talk. The school wants to promote kindness and tolerance. There are stories of child suicide. How do we find our way?
