Frankie

About This Movie

Frankie is a raw exploration of identity and belonging, set against the backdrop of a men-only 12 step meeting. The pacing is deliberately tense, with an atmosphere that hangs heavy as Frankie, a non-binary trans character, confronts their past and the expectations of others. The film dives deep into themes of acceptance and the often messy journey of self-discovery. Performances are gritty and impactful, capturing the emotional turmoil of each character involved. That crash into the meeting—it's not just a moment; it's a statement. The practical effects feel grounded, almost documentary-like, which adds to the film's authenticity. There's something about its unfiltered look at vulnerability that lingers long after viewing.
