Wow. Wowowow. I love the way that Benji turned into a real monster. Not a creature that is palatable and cute and is able to keep some of his physicality for the sake of a kiss at the end. He is rot and peeling flesh and jagged teeth. But he is still loveable and able to be loved, I think that’s really fucking beautiful. Benji’s realisation that he’s never really believed in a heaven at the end?? UGHHH that one really got me. Amazing world building and I was able to create the perfect movie in my head. Definitely was super emotional by the end. Really really great storytelling. Another media win for the queers woohoo
