“Fassbinder is so important and one of the things I love about Ali: Fear Eats the Soul is that it feels like something that people will be afraid to write now about the very present racism that lives inside of our bodies because of society and our families, etc., but how people have to navigate that through intimacies. It also is like just sexy and funny and weird.”
