Something You Said Last Night
Description
Luis De Filippis’s story of a one-week family vacation makes an indelible leap forward in the depiction of trans lives on screen. It also perfectly encapsulates the tensions that can arise from close proximity and overdetermined fun when paired with family dynamics. But above all, the film presents a loving and accepting foursome where Canadian-Italian matriarch Mona’s boisterous energy exasperates her daughters. Renata is older, comfortable with her trans identity amid supportive parents, yet still finding her place in the world while Siena likes a good party with boys. Their dad, Guido, just wants to relax by the lake with a beer or two. Over these seven days, secrets will be aired, tears will be shed, hair will be braided, and hangovers will be endured–small but poignant moments perfectly rendered by De Filippis in her memorable debut.
