This movie is very bleak and depressing and slow. I get the feeling it’s autobiographical because who would write something that makes you feel this down otherwise.

I’m very bored watching it right now. I stopped for a while and started checking Instagram. Then I went back to it but tried texting some friends. It’s just really not hitting for me. 

This is one of those animated movies not for kids that includes topics such as masturbation and swinging. And a claymation depiction of a gay child being tortured and murdered. I can’t convey how much I hate this. At least I have a cat curled up on my lap. 

I'm sorry for this film maker who lived this life and needed to express their truth. I'm on their side, I just didn't enjoy watching this.
