Seriously Red (2022)
1/10
Unfunny, meandering, kind of queerphobic

Warning: Spoilers
Maybe I'm biased because I sat down to watch this after a long day at work just to see what it was about, but I just feel like there's so much negativity in this film that was probably supposed to come off as comedy but nah it just rubbed me the wrong way, the protagonist groped multiple people while dressed as dolly Parton and this is portrayed sympathetically from her side when she loses her job over it, she hangs out with this one guy who's supposedly her friend even though all he does is kick her when she's down, constantly frowns and says really mean discouraging things to her, the scenes featuring gay characters were really cringe, because it kind of just portrays all gay men as being really sexually aggressive (she performs as Dolly at a gay bar and several gay men try to grope her assuming she's a drag queen), lot of homophobia and transphobia that's kind of just slapped in there for no real reason, anyway I can see why Dolly Parton herself was not involved in this and I'm glad, meandering plot aside, it's just really unfunny and mean-spirited.
