About This Movie

Disguise (2018) is an intriguing exploration of gender dynamics wrapped in a light-hearted premise. The film follows a group of friends who, to uncover the elusive answer to "What do women want?", don disguises as the opposite sex, leading to a mix of humorous and poignant moments. It's not just a comedy; there’s an undercurrent of social commentary on perceptions of gender and desire. The pacing has a nice rhythm to it, sometimes meandering but ultimately leading to a satisfying conclusion. Performances are earnest, bringing a genuine feel to their characters' absurd situations, which adds depth. The practical effects are minimal but effective, focusing more on the actors' transformations and interactions than flashy visuals, which lends a grounded feel to the narrative.

Disguise has had a limited release, which has contributed to its rarity in collector circles.
