i think small minded questions are those that a) seem like they're supposed to have one clear answer and b) the asker already thinks they know what it is or should be

2024-04-06 22:19:19 +0000 UTCIt was actually my kids who watched this first and told me to watch it. I think the message transcends all ages and experiences, and it's so beautifully told that it's hard not to take something away from it.

2024-03-29 08:07:07 +0000 UTCAbsolutely loved this movie (and reaction, of course)! I hadn't seen it yet, and am so glad I watched. I know my 8-year-old twin girls have seen it, so I'll be able to rewatch with them and open conversations. Thanks for this! :D

2024-03-28 20:15:30 +0000 UTCI love that you can equate Goldenloin and Balthazar to Wilhelm and Simon from Young Royals. Just as you're starting to hear that fans of YR are saying they hate Simon this season, keep in mind the unconscious bias against a POC, immigrant, commoner who the lily white Prince is in love with.

2024-03-28 12:09:24 +0000 UTCYou should also check out the controversy involved in getting this movie made. It's had a very interesting journey. Also, the author of the graphic novel having told a personal story in Nimona- says so much about the freedom of expression.

2024-03-28 12:05:59 +0000 UTCI love too, that Bal is played by Riz Ahmed, British Muslim actor and activist for Muslim representation in film and television. The added layer of Bal being not just a commoner but a Muslim turned villain/terrorist as represented by the propaganda of the kingdom, is a brilliant addition. A gay Muslim character allying with a trans/non binary character because they're equally vilified by their kingdom gives the story so much weight. I love that it was nominated for an Oscar this year. You should check out the cast for Nimona on the Oscar red carpet from this past month - so much queer representation.

2024-03-28 12:02:21 +0000 UTCSo adore this movie and have a wonderful copy of the graphic novel it's based on. I love how much love the medium of queer storytelling in comics and graphic novels is being made into movies and t.v. series like this and heartstopper.

2024-03-28 11:58:22 +0000 UTCI must admit I hadn't heard of this movie, and without this reaction, I probably wouldn't have even seen it. It hasn't come up on my Netflix feed or been presented to me through any other algorithm-picked piece of media, and I think that is half the problem with social media. Occasionally, you will be shown something different, left of field, an outlier, and if you don't have an open mind, you can miss out on so much joy. Thanks for this reaction! It has been a real eye-opener.

2024-03-28 09:03:46 +0000 UTCI still haven't seen the Labyrinth. Every year, my best friend watches it on her birthday, and I still haven't seen it. I have this thing about watching old movies and not being able to see them through the lens of the time they were made, unless I saw them back in the day. Weird sort of hang-up to have, I know.

2024-03-28 08:55:14 +0000 UTCOh that had me bawling by the end I haven’t seen this one before!! Such a beautiful movie 💗

2024-03-28 05:31:20 +0000 UTCI love love love those movie!!! The end when he says, " I see you Nimona," kills me every time. 💔 my kids love it too. Also did you know it was based on a graphic novel?

2024-03-27 19:43:58 +0000 UTCSo happy you guys are reacting to this! I loved the movie the first time I saw it, and the three times I watched it again after that. This will be my fourth viewing and I can't wait to watch it with you guys!

2024-03-27 19:04:06 +0000 UTCThis movie came out at the right time for me too. I watched it alone shortly after realizing that I’m a lesbian and was ending a long term relationship with a man. Although I’m not trans, the line from Nimona about feeling like they wouldn’t be living if they didn’t shape shift made me feel like the decision to be essentially blow up the life I had created was ultimately the right and brave decision. This movie will always mean so much to me.

2024-03-27 18:38:48 +0000 UTCNimona was Fantastic! Thank you so much for introducing me to this wonderful film. I laughed SO many times. "And now you're a boy." "I am today." I even cried when I thought she'd "Iron Giant-ed" me. Great treat.

2024-03-27 18:31:41 +0000 UTCHaven't seen this one, but the positive comments makes me think I've missed out. Looking forward to share it with an expert (apparently) and a fellow novice.😊 And, as always, thank you! ❤️

2024-03-27 17:34:39 +0000 UTCThe timing of this is absolutely perfect! International Transgender Day of Visibility is on Sunday! This week is the Trans Rights Readathon and Nimona is based on a graphic novel by a transmasc and bigender cartoonist!
Jenny Lukan
2024-03-27 17:30:57 +0000 UTCMy favorite movie of 2023!!! By the way, Alex the way you hyped this film up for Josh is exactly how I would've gone about it. It's definitely one of those films I want to hype up to show everyone how good it is.
