Ultimately it's a film that anyone who's experienced heartbreak can relate to, but it made me extra emotional because I was finally seeing myself on screen for the first time. Overall this movie had authenticity, vulnerability, and a range of emotions that left me laughing one minute and crying the next. Review What can I say about Maybe Someday other than it is COMPLETE PERFECTION Never has a book left me with complete book hangover for weeks where the story and characters have left such an impression on my heart, mind and soul that they completely consumed my every waking thought. That's exactly the type of representation that older nonbinary butch folx like myself crave to see: characters that reflect our own life experiences beyond gender or queerness, but still look like us. Jay seems totally comfortable in her own skin, so it's refreshing to see her gender identity as a non-issue in the film. This movie isn't *about* being nonbinary, but that's what I love about it - we finally have nonbinary representation that is about more than just coming out or gender dysphoria and identity issues. I can't think of another movie about a nonbinary character in their 40s going through the major relationship experiences so many of us remember from our own lives. What a refreshing film! It's the type of queer movie I've been looking for - something I could really relate to and actually see myself in.
