In her review of the film out of the 2023 Fantasia Film Festival, Dread Central’s Emily Gagne wrote:
The Becomers embraces the warm and fuzzy idea that true love exists in every universe. There’s never a doubt our heroes will reunite each time they are forced to separate and take on new hosts. The film is more interested in how and when they will find each other again, their united will to stay together superseding everything, and anyone, that gets in their way.
Molly Plunk (Little Sister), Mike Lopez (May December), Keith Kelly, Isabel Alamin, and Frank V. Ross (Drinking Buddies) star in the film, with narration by Russell Mael, lead singer of the renowned musical duo Sparks.
