If you have a teen navigating their own identity—or if you just want them to have a pulse on what their peers might be going through—this is top-tier. It’s a punch to the gut that eventually turns into a much-needed hug.
Best for 13+. The themes of displacement and identity are perfect for the teen years, but the heavy emotional weight and the 'parents as villains' reality might be a lot for younger kids.
The movie models a beautiful, supportive sibling relationship and the slow process of healing. While it starts with a traumatic rejection, the focus is on the kindness of the 'found' family.
As a contemporary drama, it doesn't build a new world, but it excels in emotional imagination, helping viewers inhabit a perspective that is often marginalized.
No gore or traditional 'action' violence. The primary safety concern is the heavy emotional weight of parental abandonment and religious trauma, which are intense but central to the story.
This is a masterclass in empathy. It provides a rare, nuanced look at the non-binary experience and the reality of navigating mental health after trauma.
