[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

While the villains were as dull and expendable as any Marvel film, this one had more emotional depth and development than probably any you could name. Well, outside of Spiderman. Hopefully signaling that there might be a change to the Marvel formula. If not, at the very least, how FOX will handle the X-Men franchise going forward.

Overall: Positive (Worth Seeing) Kiki is a film which pursues being straight forward with you. There is a deep desire for you to connect to these people and recognize their humanity. Not through one sob story after another, but just recognizing they are deserving. That they have fears, laugh and cry, and being **** or trans isn’t their entire life or story. It is a small part that for some reason is treated like a huge deal. So they hope and fight for a time when it isn’t. For they recognize that their culture, their people, they can’t survive if the nation and the world remains indifferent or oblivious. So they, while perhaps uncomfortable, they speak out to you in hopes you may change things in your own way. No matter how small.
