Two Eyes
“In a year fraught with isolation and tragedy, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the past, sifting through what’s been truly important to me, and what’s been senseless noise. I’ve thought about challenges our forebearers have faced, such as their own pandemics or struggles for human rights. In such a time of reflecting, it’s fitting that my favorite LGBTQ+ film of 2020, Two Eyes, looks back at earlier generations and connects them so vividly to our present day. Travis Fine’s beautiful, Terrence Malick-esque triptych takes us through the past few centuries, seamlessly weaving together stories of gender identity and self-expression. Told with as much empathy as my favorite heteronormative film of 2020, Nomadland, Fine’s film had me in tears of appreciation for the trans, non-binary, or gender non-conforming ancestors whose struggles reverberate to the present day to remind us to be better.”
