"a woman with a past" is a deeply personal documentary that really dives into the life of Antonette Rea, a trans*, intersex poet. The tone is intimate, almost conversational, as she shares her experiences with a blend of humor and raw honesty. There's a unique pacing to the film; it ebbs and flows between moments of reflection and stark reality, capturing not just her struggles—like violence and addiction—but also the resilience of her spirit. What stands out is Antonette’s ability to articulate her pain and triumphs through her poetry, which adds layers to the narrative. The way the film embraces its subject’s complexities is refreshing, making it a distinct piece in the documentary genre.
