French Canadian director Sophie Dupuis' film "Solo" explores the suffocating effects of toxic love within the world of drag performance, rather than focusing on traditional themes of queer identity and acceptance. The story follows Simon, a rising star in the Montreal drag scene, as he navigates a toxic relationship with his boyfriend Oliver and the return of his long-absent mother. The film delves into the complexities of reinventing oneself to please others and the conditional nature of love in toxic relationships. The collaboration between director Dupuis and actor Théodore Pellerin in creating complex, flawed characters is highlighted, with Pellerin's insistence on portraying gritty and imperfect characters shaping the narrative of "Solo."
