Filmmaker Dano Garcia charts ten years in the life of friend Mickey Cundapí (she/her), known artistically as Mis$ Mickey, a trans multidisciplinary performer. The film charts and reinvents the past through documentary recordings, recreations, and art.
This is a one-of-a-kind trip through a life. It’s a film that seeks to not only tell Mickey’s story but to force us to rethink the past, present and future as well as how we see the world. It’s a film that shifts styles and points of view, which forces us to fully engage with the images and sounds coming off the screen.
Destined for a long life in the artistic festivals where the audiences are open to fully engaging with the art before them, MICKEY is a film that may frustrate the regular movie goer. I say that because the films shift of tone and style forced me to play catch up and remain engaged on its terms. This is not a film for anyone who wants just will have a film wash over you.
I will not say if you will find this good or bad- however I will say that if you want a film to engage with, you must see MICKEY
