Recognition
Reception
The International Cinephile Society praised the film, awarding it 4/5 stars and writing it was “a deeply personal document that sets out to offer a more thorough view of the trans experience, without ever promoting itself as definitive in any way.”[4] Purple Hour notes Versaau's inclusion of "extraordinarily intense self-archival footage of herself" which Eye For Film also notes as "clear-eyed and poetic in equal measure".[5][6]
Awards and nominations
- 2025, won Kasseler Dokfest's Golden Key award in the Feature Film category.[7]
