Quick Thoughts:
“Powder Blue” surprised me. For one, I was utterly unaware of how talented this cast was and how this film slipped my radar entirely. Jessica Biel, Eddie Redmayne, Patrick Swayze, Lise Kudrow… wow! Now, it’s not the happiest holiday film, But it IS a queer holiday film. Alejandro Romero portrays trans prostitute Lexus who gets drawn into the drama as a minor character. Unfortunately, she is not a positive character and we get the classic “kill the queer” trope. But if you set that aside, it’s actually a decent film.
