RIP Tony Rayns, an absolute titan. We were lucky to work + correspond with Tony a wee bit, but his work and legacy are kind of a struggle to behold - writer, programmer, curator, translator/subtitler, screenwriter, commentator - just eons of doing the lord's work for cinema 🙌

Composite image with pull-quotes from Letterboxd reviews on purple background:

"no work of art has ever angered me more."

"THE transgender movie of all time. Even more than the first one, I felt so gripped by the sheer authenticity. There are not many films that can so honestly capture trans life in the 21st century. It's funny, awkward and most of all, agonising in the depths it dives through."

"arm the dolls"

"likely the best film I've seen this year but i am definitely crying myself to sleep tonight."

Composite image with pull-quotes from Letterboxd reviews on purple background"

"I got castrated it, was worth it"

Louise Weard was there for a Q+A! The screening was sold out. I may have been the only cis person there, so it was interesting to see what jokes everyone else got. As well as how the more shocking scenes affected the audience. One person ran out. Always good to see a movie getting a real response out of someone."

"Nothing could've prepared me mentally for what I just witnessed."

Everything you like about the first film, taken to new extremes. This is The Godfather Part 2 of transgender hangout flicks."

Composite image with pull-quotes from Letterboxd reviews on purple background:

"Delivers on all the promise of the first and then more."

"i have spent nine and a half of the past 24 hours watching castration movie and a full ten if you count the q and a with louise weard following part ii. all i have to say is that i have definitely seen it and i definitely cannot wait to see especially part ii again and also it made me want to reread crow cillers <3"

"Lighthouse screening.
I think the experience of this movie improves with an audience, and a big screen. I previously watched it alone and found myself searching for fellow witnesses in the room. It was laugh out loud funny and nauseatingly harsh, sitting in the scenes for longer than any other movie would have drives the reality home. Yes it’s long but it needs to be."

"Cinema of transexuals save me"
