Good entry point movie for cis people
I watched this movie around 2 years ago, but I still think about it from time to time.
There are a few things I think are slightly weird/strange within this movie, but it is just bound to happen as a white westerner watching non-western movies.
The decision to make Rinko, a trans woman, and Tomo, a neglected and hurt girl, meet each other, is what made the story worth watching.
While the story is rather sad on some points, it is also really sweet and depicts Rinko is a very good light, showing some of her struggles as a trans woman in a humane way. Tomo's role in the story allows Rinko to really shine, while also serving as an outlet for the cis viewers.
I think it is a good entry point if you wish to make your close ones watch a queer movie with a transfeminine character in it, without it being transmisogynistic.
