unfortunately transmisogynist.

could have been good but it's unfortunately transmisogynist. the two mains tell a presumably closeted trans woman that she's in the wrong bathroom, they steal her wallet and hotel room key. they break into her hotel room and plunder her wardrobe. one of them says, "why does he want to be a woman? being a woman is boring." I missed this at first; it's a bit blink and you'll miss it if you don't know what to look for. but recognising the transmisogyny changed the entire context and it ruined the film for me.
on top of all this, one can argue that this film is also ableist by vilifying a deaf person...
