★ 9/10
A beautifully ambiguous tale of queer identity, intergenerational trauma and the choices we have in defining family. Many characters have stayed with me – so powerfully performed by Mae Martin, Sarah Gadon and Toni Collette, but also many of the younger actors like Alyvia Alyn Lind!

Promoting sickness isn't cool. Punishing this show with low ratings for its wokness crap.
