#carrie pilby
The protagonist of the 2003 novel Carrie Pilby refers to herself as asexual throughout the book–not as a recognized sexual orientation (given when it was written), but still as an identity label describing the way she feels different from the people around her. The book’s secondary characters include a bisexual woman and a gay man, presenting queerness as a possibility and extending Carrie’s sexuality-related conversations and thoughts beyond just heterosexuality. However, the film strips away every reference to queerness–Carrie’s identification as asexual, the non-straightness of the side characters–which leaves Carrie’s arc in the film a blandly straightforward, deeply heteronormative one. While she still initially expresses that she doesn’t understand what all the fuss is about sex, the film doesn’t allow for any possibility besides her being a repressed, heteroromantic allo girl recovering from a bad relationship. So unfortunately, if you’re looking for ace representation in film… this one isn’t it.

Hello everyone! We are back!!! Before The Royals season 3 approaches, it’s the awards season first with Carrie Pilby premiering at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) last week! William was joined with co-stars Bel Powley (who plays the titular character), Vanessa Bayer (Tara), Jason Ritter (Matt), screenwriter Kara Holden, and director Susan Johnson, which brings us to an important fact that this is one of the few films with more women leading the roles in both onscreen and offscreen! The film is still waiting worldwide distribution but if you want to get an idea of what the film is about, check out these reviews! (Not free from spoilers, though.)
