this vid? is magnificent. where do I even start? the song choice. This song choice--this cover is layers upon layers of thoughtful awesomeness. The original is campy gay, 80s awesome--paired with Transparent would make this a VERY DIFFERENT VID. But omg, this cover is beautiful. I've never heard it before but the way that it alters the feeling and mood of the song is really emotional in a way I wasn't expecting. It ends up being more somber, melancholy, but still raw and fierce as hell and I love how that atmosphere of the music matches a lot of the fraught, conflicted feelings towards trying to be yourself and finding the happiness you know is just out of reach.

I love the construction of the vid, going from Maura to Sarah and Ali and back again. How it really does highlight how they're all still on their own journeys even though they all diverge wildly.

it's fucking heartbreaking, and i love the way that you've used the scene at the LGBT center as a grounding piece for the narrative because goddamnit, family, that was Maura's time to shine.

the juxtaposition between Maura at the cross dressing daycamp, dancing with the cool wife, and then the first time Maura shows her own wife who she really is-- omg it's amazing "baby hold me tight / because you can make it right" wanting acceptance and love for being who you are -- and the way it follows up with Alli dressing up for her hot date, omg, this is just fantasticcccccc all around.


pairing the girls lives when they're young and searching for love and happiness (alli on the beach with the dude in the overalls, Sarah on the bus with the girl) with Maura entering that room at the party with everyone dancing and finding that same happiness ! AUGH THIS VID IS GETTING ME THE FEELS RIGHT IN THE TICKER.

I also love that I watched the show recently enough to get the context of that final clip: where Mort decides to go by Maura, with the lyric remember my name -- SO FUCKING GREAT.

vidder, I appreciate the depth and nuance you have put into this. it is everything that i ever dreaaaaaaaaaamed of for a Transparent vid OMFG.

*clutches vid tight* this is beautiful, absolutely beautiful. thank you SO MUCH !!!!
