“charming and bloody and sweet-natured and every character is worth caring about”
“LGBT representation in the old horror films was non-existent, but many Queer viewers latched onto the werewolf as an analogy for the outsider appearing normal, but with a dread secret. The outsider artist following her dream and struggling in a world that doesn’t want her to be true to herself aligns perfectly. And of course, the literal lesbian love and parental disapproval and attempted awkward reconciliation are on the nose. The metaphor is layered on a bit thick, but it works, and anyone who has felt outside the norm will be able to identify with most of the characters and plot lines.”
