6. The comment about Tangerine was interesting

this year's breakout independent film about two trans women of color surviving on the streets of Los Angeles. While that description may sound like a played-out trope, Rodriguez and Taylor brought authenticity, direction and heart to this film

Why in the world would this sound "played out?" Who the hell would this be "played out" to?? In the history of film, how many movies have there been about trans people of color?? That just sounded a bit weird and sort of oddly dismissive.
