About

You’ll likely enjoy this moving, artist-focused biopic if you want an emotional story of identity and devotion set in an earlier era; Not for you if you strongly prefer more straightforward LGBTQ+ storytelling like “Ammonite” or “The Light Between Oceans,” or if you expect fully respectful, universally agreed representation.

Pros: standout lead performances; beautiful costumes and sets; emotional, heartfelt story | Cons: mixed depictions; pacing can feel flat; some viewers call it unsafe
