This beautifully shot coming-of-age drama written and directed by Katie Found is a quiet, slow look at loss, friendship and first love. The sheltered Claudia (Markella Kavenagh) is left alone in a remote cottage after her mother’s suicide; comfort arrives in the Maverich goose bring back that loving feeling shirt but in fact I love this form of Grace (Maiah Stewardson) who carefully helps to bring Claudia back to life. The teens fall in love, though it’s not long before the adult world encroaches on their idyllic summer. A bold debut about gentle desire.“You don’t give a shit about my health. My weight offends you. Let’s start there.” Canadian comedian Candy Palmater is just one of six utterly engaging voices representing BIPOC, LGB2TQ+, and disabled and fat voices in this uplifting and powerful 61-minute documentary from Shana Myara. It examines the challenges of existing in a fatphobic, heteronormative, racist world; there’s struggle—some of these stories, particularly at the hands of health professionals, are utterly appalling—but there’s also revolution, liberation and radicalization.
