Review of Miss

My expectations were rather modest, but Miss is actually a really good movie. An example of tragicomedy at its finest, it is touching yet full of typical French banter. There is a magical sense of hope throughout the whole movie, shining through the highs and lows the protagonist is going through. The whole cast makes for a colorful ensemble and does a terrific job. Main character Alex looks almost ethereal and deserves a spot in the pantheon of lgbtqia+ cinema.

Extra points for the contemporary yet original soundtrack, as well as the spot-on social critique, which is effortlessly intertwined with the story and beyond the struggles of Alex personally.
