A dark comedy slash horror featuring a full cast of messy queers. I really enjoyed this satirical horror about the commercialization of pride.

My main critique is that the messaging around police abolition was strong at parts and weaker at others, and the role of race in the message around saviorism could have been tightened up. With this being said, I thought it was compelling and addressed many of the challenges of queer community today.
