The movie is filled with ideas that are important for those who don't know about the struggles of a transgender teen. Knowing that the main character, Valentina, was portrayed by an actual transgender person makes it even more interesting to watch.

The main problem is in the plot. So realistic and, at the same time, so unrealistic. The events are there, but there's just a lot going on in a very short period of time.

There's quite some flaws in the dialogues, which gives that funny impression that the characters are able to read each other's minds all the time. Some sentences just don't sound natural at all and, overall, there's very little smooth communication.

One thing that didn't help me engage with this movie is how uninteresting some characters are. Even the side characters and villains, that can often save a whole movie, are unrelatable and poorly written.

Now for the good aspects: I love the emotional scenes and how the main character connects with the people around her. Even though some of the actors seem in the beginning of their career, overall, they did a good job.
