Maybe Someday

A bittersweet story of loss and love, and of friendships new and old. Be prepared to experience a rollercoaster of emotion. Tears will flow both of laughter and sorrow.

Similar to Michelle's earlier films, but has a special sincerity and depth that hasn't been fully explored previously. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed this film and am bowled over by Mx. Ehlen's talent in all respects. Touching, but not maudlin, often very funny with beautiful cinematography and well-drawn characters. The cast is wonderful, and the casting of young Jay is like, whoa.

Amazing movie, touching me so deeply. I laughed, I cried, I remembered parts of my soul, parts of mylife, parts of my emptiness and my desire of freedom. Michelle Ehlen is a huge actress, her soul illuminate all the film. Her face, her body, her skin are so "alived" full of experience, emotions, feelings, strength, vulnerability, love, it's just impossible to stay out of this movie. Everything in this film is necessary, the script is pure and lets the humanity of each character take its place. One week after watching the movie it's still in my mind everyday. Like a wonderful treasure of tenderness.

Despite being marketed as a drama, Michelle Ehlen is a master of situational comedy, which helped to lighten the mood throughout Jay's heart ache of a broken marriage. I saw "Maybe Someday" in London at the British Film Institute's BFI Flare Film Festival. I was blown away by the humor and sadness, so delicately blended together. I cried, I laughed, and at the end I felt like I was let into Jay's experience as a non-binary person in love with someone who toys with their heart, and finds their own personhood through the journey. Michelle Ehlen triumphs in this performance and her directing and editing is superb! This is a film that connects with the human heart and should be watched by a wide audience. As a straight person and ally to the LGBTQ community, I felt like this is a film to recommend to conservative friends or family members who do not understand a non-binary or queer perspective. It's beautiful, nuanced, and the heartache is universal. Also, the breastmilk lotion scene was hilarious!!!

What a refreshing film! It's the type of queer movie I've been looking for - something I could really relate to and actually see myself in. I can't think of another movie about a nonbinary character in their 40s going through the major relationship experiences so many of us remember from our own lives. This movie isn't *about* being nonbinary, but that's what I love about it - we finally have nonbinary representation that is about more than just coming out or gender dysphoria and identity issues. Jay seems totally comfortable in her own skin, so it's refreshing to see her gender identity as a non-issue in the film. That's exactly the type of representation that older nonbinary butch folx like myself crave to see: characters that reflect our own life experiences beyond gender or queerness, but still look like us. Overall this movie had authenticity, vulnerability, and a range of emotions that left me laughing one minute and crying the next. Ultimately it's a film that anyone who's experienced heartbreak can relate to, but it made me extra emotional because I was finally seeing myself on screen for the first time.
