This is really one of the best movies I have seen in a VERY long time. No matter what your feelings are, on the subject of transgender and such, I don't think anyone could see this movie and not be touched in some way by the intriguing story this movie tells. Not only did I love the struggle of the main characters which I thought was portrayed very well, but I also enjoyed the little sub-stories of all the people they met along the way. I loved this movie because it simply told a beautiful story beautifully. I don't think it left anything out, or did it give too much away. They could have easily had some really un tasteful sex scenes, but they didn't, and that's what I like. It didn't leave me hanging (well, it did a little, but in a good way) and it didn't go on forever. This was not a money hungry movie made simply for the fact of attracting idiots to the movie theater. It was made to tell a story, and that's what makes great movies. I mean I totally understand the money mind set, and I don't hold anything against anyone for it (I may even find myself working on The 40-year-old Virgin 2 someday. God Forbid). Nor does a low budget and small viewing audience always guarantee a superior movie. But Transamerica hit the nail right on the head. And if you ever get a chance I recommend you ALL see it. This one will most definitely be added to my all time favorites for sure.
Overall Rating:
(Get it lambs, and I'm Mary...Get it? Get it?)
