Also breaking the chain of “all Asians are the same” by changing Noriko to Quyn, because the actress is Vietnamese not Japanese.

A gay Italian character who is not stereotyped. 

A gay Arab character who is also not stereotyped. 

Neither of them fetishized. 

Both of them bad ass as fuck.

Directed by a Black woman. 

Edited by a Black woman.

 I’m sorry I can’t shut up about this movie. 

I’m just so fucking INTO everything it’s about!
