The Way You Look Tonight (2019) Written and directed by John Cerrito. John Cerrito leaves no stone unturned and presents a story that you can watch with your friends and talk about for hours afterward. Outside of that one big criticism, The Way You Look Tonight is an excellently crafted film addressing the very contemporary issue of transgender men and women and gender fluidity from the vantage point of cis-gendered citizens like myself. It opens itself to the question, “is Peter in love because of the challenge?” What is not clear, is why exactly Peter is in love with Heloise? There are plenty of moments when Peter admires her talent for illustration and storytelling and is empathetic to her struggles, but why, out of the billions of people walking the earth, are Peter and Heloise in love? Sure, she’s a kind soul, good with kids, and have awkward sex like any couple, but most of the film’s attention is centered on the struggle, and the love story takes a back seat (see Prelude to a Kiss). I have one big problem with The Way You Look Tonight, and it has to do with the “rom” part of rom-com. The material is treated so seriously in the film, you’d swear changelings are real. It’s clear that he’s spent an enormous amount of time creating a reality for this world and thinking through the struggles of a person with no stable visual identity. ![]() Starting with the idea of what exactly is a changeling and how would that person live and find love in today’s world, Cerrito dives pretty deep into his subject matter. Where writer/director John Cerrito excels is the world he’s built in The Way You Look Tonight. It’s not the perfect allegory, but it makes a big statement and lends itself to some interesting after-film conversations. The Way You Look Tonight is a sci-fi, rom-com allegory about being transgender and gender fluid. Will Peter be the first to settle down with a changeling? Will he learn to accept and cope with Heloise’s radical daily appearances? There’s also a political message of discrimination as changelings are unable to get driver’s licenses/IDs, government benefits, jobs working with the public, and find long-lasting love. Once again freaked out, Peter immediately ends the relationship but decides to attend a Changeling Support Group and gets a better understanding of the trials and tribulations of the growing changeling population in America. Peter’s first real test occurs when he wakes up to a male version of Heloise. Every day Peter grows more and more accustomed to the daily changes of Heloise-changes in her age, race, and…gender.
