Mass

About This Movie

Mass (2020) unfolds in the gritty backdrop of NYC, where Trey, a gay and HIV-positive man, wrestles with feelings of inadequacy. The film's tone is heavy, yet there's a raw vulnerability that permeates every scene. It's not just about his struggles with identity and loneliness; it's a deeper commentary on societal pressures and toxic masculinity. The pacing is deliberate, almost suffocating at times, making you really feel Trey's emotional weight. Performances are gritty and honest, with the atmosphere echoing the isolation he feels amidst a crowd of imposing figures. The film doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of life but presents them with a haunting beauty that's hard to shake off.
