There are some extremely talented actors in this terse locker room drama. The conceit of having femme/non-binary actors play teenage male hockey players was initially lightly entertaining, and became invisible as the characters developed. The writing was solid, although I'm not certain if there was meant to be a moral to this story. Really though, it was the intense performances that carried this one.

With poetry and precision, Belly Button tells a queer love story that transforms family and identify. The skilled use of an ensemble to represent Q's inner monologue adds humour, movement and depth. A beautiful and funny story about being South Asian and Sapphic.
