This is the trans coming of age Joker origin story DC Comics and Warner Brothers don’t want you to see. Vera Drew directs, writes and stars in this subversive, hilarious and explicitly queer reimagining of your favourite DC characters. Drew plays an aspiring clown who grapples with her gender identity and fights fascistic foes in this absurd and visually bold film. Featuring comedians Scott Aukerman, Tim Heidecker, Maria Bamford and Bob Odenkirk – this part-parody movie and part-memoir ultimately conveys a moving message of self-love.
“UNDERNEATH THE SATIRICAL MADNESS LIES A GENUINELY MOVING STORY OF SELF-ACCEPTANCE, SELF-LOVE, AND THE INSPIRING ACT OF AN ARTIST STEPPING INTO HER POWER. ALL JOKES ASIDE, THE PEOPLE DESERVE TO SEE IT.” - JUDE DRY, INDIEWIRE
