If Found is a two-hour visual novel about a transgender 23yo who doesn’t get accepted to grad school and goes home to Ireland to her working-class single mother, who means well but doesn’t understand what “transgender” means because it’s 1993. This delusional 23yo child doesn’t attempt to explain anything to her mother and then gets mortally offended by her mother’s lack of understanding.

As it stands, it’s an endurance test that’s painful to sit through.
