Review is here: https://www.noflyingnotights.com/blog/2021/09/06/stone-fruit-2/ This was an emotional rollercoaster. There is so much to relate to in this story: struggling with family, dealing with depression and sadness. I think even though it's a sad read, it is also hopeful. The character of Nessie and the role that imagination plays in the characters' relationship with her is beautiful. Also, there is so much to be said about different kinds of family and how family goes beyond genetic relationships. I loved this. Bron y Ray son una pareja queer que disfrutan de su papel como las divertidas tías raras de la sobrina de Ray, Nessie. Sus juegos son pequeños oasis de locura, alegría y placidez en medio de las tensiones familiares y las obligaciones de la vida diaria. A medida que su intimidad emocional se erosiona, Ray y Bron buscan refugio y afecto en sus familias. Dando un salto de fe, cada una se abre a sus respectivas hermanas y aprenden que tienen más en común con ellas de lo que nunca sospecharon.
[...] if its minimalist, indie-film tone is ever downbeat, it’s also, at moments, highly affecting. "Lai presents a tender and emotionally raw examination of three women struggling to form and maintain their identities within and outside of their immediate family, illustrated in a loosely expressive style that conveys both bombastic catharsis and silent anguish with aplomb."

"Bron and Ray are a queer couple who enjoy their role as the fun weirdo aunties to Ray's niece, six-year-old Nessie. Their playdates are little oases of wildness, joy, and ease in all three of their lives, which ping-pong between familial tensions and deep-seeded personal stumbling blocks. As their emotional intimacy erodes, Ray and Bron isolate from each other and attempt to repair their broken family ties -- Ray with her overworked, resentful single-mother sister and Bron with her religious teenage sister who doesn't fully grasp the complexities of gender identity. Taking a leap of faith, each opens up and learns they have more in common with their siblings than they ever knew."--Publisher's description. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
