Is 2024 the best year for trans movies ever?
Earlier this year, we had two all-time great trans movies, The People's Joker and I Saw the TV Glow come out, giving audiences a new look at what trans representation will look like for the next decade.
The People's Joker, from visionary filmmaker Vera Drew, retells the classic story of DC Comics supervillain The Joker, but if she was a trans woman and had Drew's early life.
It flips everything you thought you knew about superhero movies on its head, offers an unflinching view of trans childhood, and speaks plainly and directly to the trans experience. Oh yeah, and it's hilarious and weird and wonderful.
I Saw the TV Glow is a horror film about the torture of being trapped in the wrong body and the wrong life. Justice Smith and Brigette Lundy-Paine play a couple of outsider teens who connect over their shared love of a Buffy-style young adult supernatural show called The Pink Opaque.
But as Owen gets more obsessed with the show, the lines between reality and fiction begin to blend, and Owen realizes his life may be an elaborate trap made to keep him from being his true self.
Just recently, the documentary Will & Harper premiered on Netflix, and it could be the most important doc of the year. It follows longtime best friends Will Ferrell and Harper Steele as they go on a roadtrip across America to get reacquainted after Harper came out as a trans woman.
The movie is a transformative and triumphant portrait of friendship, America, and listening and learning.
This November, America will get to see the brilliant French musical Emilia Pérez, which stars Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez, and trans actor Karla Sofía Gascón as a Mexican drug lord who hires Saldaña's character to help her secretly transition so she can begin a new life.
It's a beautiful and bizarre musical about love, growth, desire, and freedom, and it's one of the best trans movies ever made.
Viewers will be able to watch Emilia Pérez when it debuts in limited theaters November 1, and when it debuts on Netflix November 13.
Now, onto the news.
