Something You Said Last Night

Luis De Filippis’s story of a family vacation makes a 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. The film presents a loving and accepting foursome, though Canadian Italian matriarch Mona’s boisterous energy exasperates her daughters. 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.
