Transient, 2024 - ★★★★

This was a glitchy, trippy sci-fi drama/thriller feature film in all the best ways! Incredible cinematography, vibes, and production design really grounded you in the story and the production did an excellent job of achieving a lot with very little resources--scaling the screenplay properly to tell an engaging story with just a few characters within a small amount of locations.

Quotes by Peter Fenton (?)

“But even just out there in the world, people – they- they stare. They look at two guys, when they hold hands. Or when they kiss. Gay guys are all – big and they're loud. And artsy and – I don't want any of that. I want a normal life that I built on my own. Not because of my dad. Not because of my .. heart. I just want to be left alone. (Wipes a tear away.) I wish there was a way to be with a guy, but... be straight.”

“What's the point of pushing a person away just because he's gay? You're already in Hell with him. Why would you push anyone away? Obviously, you've been wrong about something!”

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here." It's a little bit on the nose, wouldn't you say, when they hang this big old sign above the entrance to Hell, the land of eternal damnation, telling you, "give up, it doesn't get better"? I'd imagine a human soul with an eternity of torture every moment of every day for the remainder of their existence would see this sign and think, "Yeah. No shit, Sherlock." Which means it's perfect.”

“There's just no way of quantifying, say, you're "more" Christian than me because with self-applied labels like "Christian" or "Righteous" or "Sexy", it just means whatever the person wants it to mean.”
