Faggots

About This Movie

So, ‘Faggots’ (2021) presents this wild mix of comedy, drama, and a touch of sci-fi. The setting is this bizarre, post-pandemic world where a virus called ‘Exit 884’ has wiped out most of humanity, leaving behind a community of gender-bending survivors. It has this haunting atmosphere, really. The pacing is a bit off-kilter, but that adds to its charm. The performances are raw and unpolished, which feels fitting given the chaos of the plot. It dives into themes of identity, survival, and the absurdity of societal norms. The practical effects are quite striking, often grotesque, especially during the funeral scene that feels more like a celebration of life despite its dark undertones. Definitely a film you won’t forget easily, for better or worse.
