Larry (They/Them) (French: Larry (iel)) is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Catherine Legault and released in 2024.[1] The film is a portrait of Laurence Philomène, a non-binary artist from Montreal, Quebec, as they embark on both their gender transition and the artistic process that went into the creation of Puberty, their photography book about the transition.[2][3]

The film premiered at the 2024 Calgary International Film Festival.[4] It was later screened at festivals including the 2024 Montreal International Documentary Festival,[5] the 2025 Slamdance Film Festival,[2] and the 2025 Canadian Film Festival,[6] before going into commercial release in April 2025.[4]
