being friends with one of your favorite filmmakers fucking rocks because you get to be one of the first people to see their latest work before everyone else so i’m always honored when alice lets me take a look at what she’s been building because everything she touches is as beautiful and brilliant as her - and the serpent’s skin is no exception. spooky and sapphic as hell with a badass witchy trans girl as the lead… what more do you want from the movies. keep this one (and miss alice maio mackay) on your radar :)

propulsively paced, exceptionally edited, and well-acted across-the-board (john magaro mvp, per usual), but the frustratingly “apolitical” script lacks crucial context and the film’s questionable timing is even more so with that in mind

when we say “movies are magic,” this is what we mean. what this is able to accomplish emotionally and thematically with no dialogue and a cast of entirely non-anthropomorphized animals is nothing short of a miracle of the medium. my cat loved it as much as me :)

crazy year for social satires centered around characters who undergo experimental treatments in an attempt to become a better version of themselves only to realize it’s not everything they expected and subsequently spiral out of control

the only positive experience anyone has ever had on shrooms

i absolutely adoooooore alice maio mackay as both a filmmaker and a friend and i’m so glad she’s making movies right now because nobody - and i mean nobody - has a voice like hers.

i had the pleasure of watching t blockers almost a year ago and was blown away by her beautifully vicious vision and now that the official trailer is out i can’t recommend that you watch it (and the movie as well obviously) enough. trans women are the future of film babyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
