Lupe
Lupe, a Cuban immigrant and trained boxer, wrestles with their transgender identity while searching for their estranged sister in New York City's underground sex industry, with sometimes violent consequences.
My takeA raw, unflinching character study that demands your full attention. Lupe is the kind of film that sits with you—gritty, intimate, and unafraid to explore identity and survival in the margins of New York City.
