Loulou

Loulou is a coming-of-age story about Louie, a 17-year-old transgender girl struggling with her secret desire to live as a woman while being raised by a strict conservative father and insecure mother. Louie finds escape by developing a relationship with her homophobic bully, Tony.

Directed by Noëlle P. Soulier, Loulou leans on a strong ensemble — Kevin Curtis, Spencer Belko, Reiko Aylesworth — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2025.
