Ponyboi features River Gallo as the titular character, living dual lives as a laundromat worker and sex worker. The film follows Ponyboi's tumultuous journey after a dangerous encounter. Dylan O'Brien plays Vinnie, who becomes Ponyboi's pimp and lover. The film is significant amid ongoing challenges faced by queer individuals in America. O'Brien has expressed gratitude for the film's timing and the representation of the trans community with an intersex lead. The film aims to challenge societal norms and celebrate diverse narratives.
To see a film like this representing the trans community with a lead intersex character [like] we've never seen before - so in your face - it's f***ing wild and messy and it's a wild ride.
I'm so thankful that it's coming out in this moment with what this country is experiencing in particular. It couldn't be more of a meaningful moment for this movie to be coming out now.
