I am a Virgo looks like a touching coming-of-age comedy – with the added bonus of the main character being 4 feet tall.
By sorry to bother you director Boots Riley, I am a Virgo revolves around Cootie (played by If they see usJharrel Jerome), a young man who grew up in Oakland, California. Due to his gigantic height, Cootie has remained quite sheltered throughout his life. The trailer shows that his parents decided to keep him indoors, because the world is not ready for a 4-foot-tall man. (What, valid).
We see glimpses of Felix throughout his life, showing that he was always just gigantic. But one day he finds his way out and it’s a story of 4 foot tall boy meeting the world.
Where does the Virgo part come from, you may ask? Well, towards the end of the trailer, Felix says that because he’s a Virgo, which means he’s adventurous — so, of course, he’s up for an unspecified romp. (I’m not sure how that rings true astrologically, to be honest!)
I am a Virgo coming soon to Prime Video. An exact release date has not yet been specified.
