Mutants

About This Movie

Mutants (2020) is a curious little piece that wraps you in its intimate atmosphere. Set against the backdrop of the mid-90s, it captures this raw slice of life and coming-of-age tales through Keven Guénette’s journey. The pacing has this almost languid quality, letting you soak in the moments of discovery and self-acceptance. The film doesn’t shy away from its themes of mutation, sexuality, and love, all while grounding itself in the emotional support from Keven's paraplegic coach. The performances are genuine, sometimes messy, but that’s where the charm lies. The practical effects, while not over-the-top, add a unique texture that complements the story. It’s one of those flicks that stays with you, even if it isn’t for everyone.
