CUBBY is such a special film. I saw the trailer in a preview for the Reeling Chicago LGBTQ Film Fest, and my jaw dropped in anticipation. Finally, a film that would celebrate the weirdness and quirks that make many gay folks so unique. Such insight into how we think, our brains always daydreaming, one foot living in magical fantasy worlds, with one foot defiantly obligated to be a grown-up.
The grainy film and hand drawn animation are absolutely magical. The characters are so unique, yet universal, and the actors playing the parts always feel genuine. There's not once false move in the film. It is an absolute delight, heartfelt and magical.
It reminds me of Napolean Dynamite and LadyBird, but more insightful, more magical. We need more films like this! My favorite film of the year.
