Oddball Movie

This is one weird film. It has the flavor of those old documentaries from back in the day regarding other taboo subjects, ony this one is narrated by Lee Grant for some reason.It's a rather straightforward doc like thse other toboo docs that ran in the grindhouse theatres ony it's exceedingly boring.None of the soon to be women are attractive which really takes away from the message. Frankly, I was real bored most of the time because the film is way too somber and clinical.These women would never have shown up on Ru Paul's show, that's for sure.And the sad part is that none of these transitional people are happy as men or women. SO the net net of the film is one big downer.

A Sensitive Treatment of a Sensitive Subject

Lee Grant once again proves her worth as actress, producer and director in a career that stretches back 40 years in this very sensitive look at an issue many people refuse to even acknowledge, transgenderism.Through interviews with transgendered people... and yes, these are people, not 'things' or 'its'... and following one woman through her life's experiences leading up to sexual reassignment surgery, Grant treats this subject with care, concern and sensitivity lacking in many other productions.For those people who are transgendered, this is an excellent movie about you, as real people. For those who are curious, it is a learning tool. For those who care about other human beings, it is a must-see, not unlike certain recommended readings from high school and college.
