Reviews

A Good Movie To Watch

Savina Petkova

The film features fantastic performances aplenty and very raw storytelling, visualized by neorealist style and low lighting.

With this movie, Brandon's memory lives on forever.

The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY)

Dan DiNicola

Kimberly Peirce's film is unarguably one of the finest adult dramas of the year, and arguably one of the best examples of independent filmmaking in recent memory.

Hilary Swank shows a depth of talent that is rare in even the most seasoned thespians.

Now comes the cherry on the immortality cake, Kimberly Pierce's brilliant dramatic rendition of the tale of the girl who would be a man and love as one.
