Audiences, who are familiar with Michelle Ehlen’s low-budget comedy trilogy consisting of Butch Jamie, Heterosexual Jill, and S&M Sally, might be surprised by the tone of Ehlen’s latest feature film, Maybe Someday. Unlike the trilogy that satirically portrayed gender and sexuality stereotypes and prejudices in a broader sense with butch Jamie and her girlfriend Jill at the center, Maybe Someday. is a humorless and serious drama based on Ehlen’s personal experiences. The director Ehlen plays the lead role in this film, and this time she delivers an entirely different, solemn, and profound performance. The protagonist Jay, just like Ehlen herself, identifies as non-binary, and the film deeply explores this identity and the struggles and experiences of non-binary. [Djuna]
