CGiii Comment

Basic in all departments.

When a film is in competition, its weaknesses are plain to see - especially when compared to similarly themed films...in the same competition.

This didn't stand a chance against its competitors.


Trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...

When Jude ends up unexpectedly living at home in their 30s, they must deal with a lovingly opinionated Jewish mother who doesn’t quite get the whole trans thing. As the lines blur between scripted, improvised, and completely off the rails, Jude and Mom talk past and over each other, but rarely to each other. Over an intimate haircut, Jude realizes they don’t have to be fully understood to be fully loved. Shot in the dog days of quarantine during a picturesque Vermont summer and featuring an original instrumental score, “Monsieur Le Butch” is a tender and authentic meta-comedy about the line between the stories we tell ourselves and the stories that get told about us.
