Frameline blurb: “Now I can’t seem to get you off my goddammed mind. And to be honest, I’m not alright.” A unique duet, separated by time and transformation, performs on stage to a full crowd. Dylan stands at the mic hitting the lower notes, while Lots, his name before he transitioned, sings through the speakers, hitting the higher notes. This euphoric moment was unthinkable only a few years before, when Dylan Holloway, a pop star from the UK, was faced with a decision that terrified him: would he choose to live authentically and transition, thereby losing his singing voice, his livelihood, and as he said his “only redeeming feature” that made him feel worthy?

Through emotional, tear-soaked video diaries and attempts at singing the songs that brought him fame, to archival footage of him on The X Factor and performing as a lesbian, Tomorrow’s Too Late is a testament to bravely forging your own path towards authenticity, even if it means putting everything on the line.

My take: Tomorrow’s Too Late is the antidote to the anti-trans poison infecting so much of our public life in the Trump era. The authenticity of Dylan’s dialogue with the camera through the process of transition is palpable: you can feel his unshakable faith that he knows himself and the path he needs to follow, even at great risk to other pillars of his existence. What if his singing voice doesn’t make it through accelerated puberty? Still, he feels the imperative of living his truth and forges his way forward.

Coming through transition and then adapting to shifting his singing down an octave or two, Dylan also reaches a new level, not only embracing his new body and his new voice, but also embracing how he got there, including embracing Lots with love and appreciation. The duet between Dylan and Lots is remarkable for its musical harmony, but even more so for the integration of a whole person with his origin story.

For any transmasculine person, Dylan is a beacon of hope and inspiration, but I think even a trans­fem­i­nine person can find the commonalities in their experiences and follow the guiding light of someone who has not only survived transition, but is thriving and weaving together the threads of the past into a vibrant present and bright future. Indeed, I think anyone, even a cisgendered person with no musical talent at all (hey, that’s me!!) will be moved by the force of Dylan’s assuredness as much as by the beauty of his singing voice, both pre- and post-transition.

Go see this movie, any way you can. Frameline was the last stop on its festival circuit, but it will have a limited theatrical release in London (and possibly elsewhere) this summer, and will be coming to a streaming platform near you a few weeks after that. Unequivocally a must see, a ray of light in these dark times. Films like this are why I keep coming back to Frameline year after year.
