Fucktoys

AP just found out that — according to multiple psychics — she’s cursed. Even worse, if she wants to lift it she’s gonna have to sacrifice a baby lamb and come up with a grand in cash. Trashtown, USA, offers plenty of chances to do some pretty messed up stuff for a few bucks, so AP sets off on her scooter to make some money. Enter Danni (Sadie Scott), AP’s former flame, whose face is seemingly always bloodied and banged up. Together, they embark on an increasingly absurd reimagining of The Fool’s Journey.

“Bold, irreverent, and fiercely queer, Fucktoys plunges into a world where pleasure, performance, and identity collide. The film refuses easy categorization, moving between satire and intimacy as it explores the politics of sex work, agency, and desire. Tonight’s screening is especially exciting as we welcome the filmmaker to join us in conversation — an opportunity to dive deeper into the creative impulses and provocations behind this daring work.” Fay Nass, Queering Cinema curator

For viewers tired of the metallic beige-ness of streaming series, this movie will hit like dopamine.
