"While I’m saving my ultimate judgment for the eventual full finished project, congrats to Louise Weard and her collaborators for having made something that’s resonated with audiences despite sounding impossibly niche on its surface. Kudos as well to Muscle - looking forward to future releases!"
"Muscle have come out swinging with this modern classic, stacked with extras that will take some time to through! Excellent overall release of this meditation on modern trans life. Can’t wait for part 2!"
"Beyond refreshing during a modern day hellscape of awful and lifeless films nearly everywhere you turn. Weard is a brilliant and studied cinephile and it shows at every turn. Lo-fi heaven meets actual, worthwhile transgression and most of all, enormous true empathy in spades. Muscle rules, and this is a stellar first release!"
"What a solid film from Louise Weard. Don't let the runtime scare you, it goes by quite fast and it's split across two discs if you can't watch in one sitting. Expecting part II on disc very soon. . ."
"This is how I ended up seeing Anthology I for the first time and it looks great! No issues with the discs. The artwork is reversible if you prefer the original cover. Great bonus features. Beautiful work of trans art ❤️🏳️⚧️"
"Love seeing people make art even with miniscule budgets like this and it get the love and care muscle put into the release. Great art, interested in checking out the sequels as they come and more from the label."
"I heard about this movie on a podcast and heard the premise and I thought it sounded very compelling. As long as the film is you really get into the characters and time just flew away. It's like a documentary blended with fascinating. It really isn't like anything I've seen before. I definitely recommend!"
"Looking forward to the other parts. Hoping to catch them in some smaller theaters but I’ll pick them all up either way."
"Really interesting movie about trans lives - episode 2 is better, I found the main guy in episode 1 just too annoying. Director/star Louise Weard is excellent in episode 2. The low-res blocky image quality means this might be better watched on a computer monitor than a 50-inch TV."
"Such an important and incredible film. Louise Weard is such an important voice in queer and trans cinema. An essential film. Hoping for all subsequent parts of Castration Movie to get releases too. I’ve talked about this movie with my therapist a lot. Am I allowed to write that here? What if nobody sees this? Does anything matter? If you made it this far, you should send fifty dollars to your trans friends, we’ve had a ROUGH time."
