Movie Info

A gay disabled teenage boy changes into the body of a beautiful woman, so that he can be loved. It is a deeply personal film, exploring thematic questions such as how much our bodies shape who we are, where is the line between compromising for love and changing yourself to be loved, and why we fall in love with the people we fall in love with. It is a parable film for young people, queer people, disabled people; but more than that, for anyone who has ever struggled with their body, their appearance, their sexuality, their desires, and essentially, themselves.

Critic Reviews for Pulse

  • [Daniel] Monks and his costars are vibrant, skillful actors, and the movie is quite fearless in exploiting the dramatic possibilities of the idea.

  • A twist on the concept of trans sexuality, Pulse is more about body swapping than the traditional trans experience. Still, Cruz-Martin and Monks deliver an insightful look into the challenges of evolving into one's true self.

    September 15, 2019 | Full Review…
  • Some scenes are so raw that audience members feel almost invasive watching them.

    July 11, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…
  • The feature's lack of neatness pairs well with its crisp, realism-favouring visuals, as lensed by Cruz-Martin, as well as its performances.

    October 16, 2017 | Full Review…
  • Though the cast give solid performances, Daniel Monks and Caroline Brazier being the standouts, and Cruz-Martin showing a flair for visual and, in particular, sound production, the film can't find its footing in the subjects it covers.
