Not tied up in a box & put on a shelf

Markie said something to that effect in describing her life & the decisions she's come to make. I think this film captures her sentiment beautifully and respectfully.

The filmmakers portrayed Markie's story as objectively as I think could be possible, giving equal time to voices on either side of her choices.

It is not so easy to be objective with some of these choices. That is partially because Markie is who she is, but also because the filmmakers successfully told her story such that we feel we know her.

We want so much for her to be who she is without worrying about the judgment of others. Bravo to the filmmakers for not caving and offering more judgment.

None of us have walked in Markie's shoes. And some shoes don't tie or even fit on a shelf.

I sincerely hope all the negative reviewers experience a little self awareness in their lust for little tied up boxes. Humans are seldom such.
