The Opposite of Sex

In a bold and unapologetic take on identity, desire, and relationships, "The Opposite of Sex" follows 16-year-old Dede Truitt as she navigates a web of love, loss, and deception. After her pregnant ex-boyfriend's death, Dedee runs away to visit her half-brother Bill, a gay teacher living in a conservative community, where she meets his boyfriend Matt. As the story unfolds, Dedee seduces Matt, then tricks him into believing he has impregnated her, leading to a series of misadventures that take them from Indiana to Los Angeles and eventually back home again. With its sharp insights, strong dialogue, and standout performance from Christina Ricci, this film is a scathing satire that shines a light on the complexities of human relationships.
