... ultimately, it is about the primacy of family and friends, and how decency begets decency.

It's a very likeable film. With a big heart, good intentions and a sharp eye for social absurdities, it can hardly be anything else.

Writer-director Duncan Tucker does little to develop his narrative setup beyond the basic and obvious, and his film begins to feel more like an exercise than a fully realized story.

It's funny in spots, touching in others and uniformly life-affirming.

May 12, 2014Huffman's portrayal of transgendered person is remarkable. Unfortunately the acting triumph is wasted by a bit of wishy washy sentimentality.John B Super Reviewer

Aug 29, 2013One of my favourite films, essentially an American version of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, filled with surprising characters and tongue in cheek jokes. Felicity Huffman is simply remarkable in her performance, so does Kevin Zegers. The complexity of the drama is so immense, it's something that everyone should watch.Sylvester K Super Reviewer

Jul 19, 2012Lovely movie. Huffman was awesome as the sensitive Bree. Interesting how they chose a woman for the part instead of a man, but it totally worked. I like how the emphasis isn't on the transgender theme, but in growing as a person and connecting with other people.Saskia D Super Reviewer

Jul 22, 2010Theoretically, I should love this movie. Huffman's performance is honest and uninhibited, complete with a crying scene that rivals Viola Davis's leaky nose. However, to quote the guy standing in line in Annie Hall, it failed "to hit me on a gut level." I think a further comparison to Doubt is in order. Both films are technically strong, but the lack the creative, raw energy that we see in There Will Be Blood and The Wrestler (other movies featuring a strong lead performance).Jim H Super Reviewer
