Maybe Someday (2022)
Beautiful Film that Brings People Together
Despite being marketed as a drama, Michelle Ehlen is a master of situational comedy, which helped to lighten the mood throughout Jay's heart ache of a broken marriage. I saw "Maybe Someday" in London at the British Film Institute's BFI Flare Film Festival. I was blown away by the humor and sadness, so delicately blended together. I cried, I laughed, and at the end I felt like I was let into Jay's experience as a non-binary person in love with someone who toys with their heart, and finds their own personhood through the journey. Michelle Ehlen triumphs in this performance and her directing and editing is superb! This is a film that connects with the human heart and should be watched by a wide audience. As a straight person and ally to the LGBTQ community, I felt like this is a film to recommend to conservative friends or family members who do not understand a non-binary or queer perspective. It's beautiful, nuanced, and the heartache is universal. Also, the breastmilk lotion scene was hilarious!!!
