Too much of everything

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Today we have shows like Queer Eye and others that try to approximate the gay experience and emotionally manipulate viewers, and then we have gems like My House. Viceland usually comes through with their programming, and My House is no exception.The balls are incredibly captivating, and although I'm an outsider in terms of the ball world, I feel a kinship with it as an LGBT person and My House is probably the closest thing we have to a modern day Paris Is Burning, although I'll comment on that more when I see Kiki (2016) and see if it's any good. I loved the first season of Pose on FX, but I think My House might be even better. Moments like Precious Ebony sitting by the beach talking about how she lacks love and must love herself were truly emotional and transcendent. Jelani Mizrahi defies all of the stereotypes of someone involved in ball culture, and his scenes show how much of an introvert he was and how he copes with life. Tati and Alex were also thoroughly entertaining and had their share of moments. My House is the peak of reality television and what it can be.
