Mutt is a small film with big things on its mind. Director Vuk Lungulov-Klotz’s feature debut is an indie drama that takes place across one day in New York, following Feña (Lío Mehiel), a recently out trans man, dealing with frustrating situations sparked by his sister, his ex-boyfriend, and his estranged father. Feña’s gender identity plays an important part in both navigating the city and his relationships.
and Mutt depicts this and its fleshed-out characters with dynamism. Feña isn’t portrayed as a hero or a martyr, simply a guy who is trying to get through the day with as little trouble as possible. For that, it feels quietly radical.
Mehiel, a trans actor himself, plays Feña with a winning sensitivity. We see it in his knotty relationship with his ex, who he hooks up with at a club only to be rejected again the morning after. Family relationships are similarly complicated, as Feña’s sister arrives on his doorstep unannounced, having run away from home.
His father, too, requires a ride from the airport and getting hold of a car proves to be a challenge. It’s all relatively low-stakes stuff but each additional layer of stress builds into a sympathetic portrayal of a tough day in the city. These bass notes are accentuated by depictions of the low level aggressions faced by being trans in America, like how the bank refuses to cash a check because his current name does not match the deadname he used to set up the account.
