Autumn

About This Movie

Autumn (2018) is an interesting piece in the indie film landscape. It revolves around a transgender woman on her way to the Miss Oregon auditions, but the path is anything but typical, involving some gritty confrontations with thugs. The tone has this rawness to it, a mix of determination and struggle, which gives it an edge. The pacing feels a bit jagged, but in a way that mirrors the protagonist's chaotic journey. While we don’t have a big-name director behind it, the performances bring a certain authenticity, capturing the nuances of the character's experience. The practical effects, although not flashy, serve well to highlight the gritty realism of the challenges faced, making it a distinctive watch for anyone interested in underrepresented narratives.

Autumn is a bit of a rarity in the collector's market, often overlooked but with a small yet dedicated following. It was released in limited formats, making physical copies somewhat scarce, especially in good condition. Collectors interested in LGBTQ+ narratives or indie cinema really appreciate what this film attempts, despite its uneven execution.
