Review from IMDb for "Hurt"

"The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering." - Ben Okri.

I would be remiss if I did not do my duty in telling you all this is absolutely a must watch. It's more than real, it's reality.

Suicide is the third leading cause of death among 15-24 year olds, and the second leading cause of death among people ages 10-14. We as queer people, are four times more likely than our peers to attempt. There is an attempt every 45 seconds.

Devastating right? Yes, but again, it's very raw and real as is 'Hurt'. To feel seen is to truly, Be. Watching Hurt as a non-binary lesbian makes me feel seen. More than that. Makes me feel heard.

I think a lot of professionals, teachers & academics, parents get it all wrong when approaching someone who is fighting such demons. Not to say they aren't trying, or doing absolutely everything they can. Or that they need to "fix" it. But that's absolutely my point. There is nothing to fix. But you can listen. Really listen. Not out of pity, or fear, or anger. Listen. Like much of these characters do. I've known for a long time that love is more than just romance.

They love each other. Love is such a beautiful emotion and you see that in this art.

I didn't even see any queer representation in hardly anything that wasn't a stereotype until I was older. Too old. This is truly important work. Very crucial to our community, but to the world.

I think it's so vital that others outside of us see us, for us. Cheers. Job very, very well done.
