Cortechba Overrated
Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
matcool-67263 I just lost it there after 30 Mintues and got bored. Poor acting, poor script and terrible. Weaver wear mansuit??? WTF.
sarah-263-133115 When I first heard about this film I was like "ugh! Another non-trans actor playing a trans(ish) role", and was annoyed.The lead actor Michelle Rodriguez is pretty much only known for the Fast and Furious films, so this would be the first film with her as essentially the lead.I'm trying to play devils advocate here and give it a fair go, but its just a terrible film. Frank never looks convincing as a man, that beard! Omg! I've seen kids with better pretend pirate beards! The story makes no sense, no even Sigourney Weaver can save this steaming pile from going straight to the 50p DVD bin.Is it transphobic? I don't know. It's not someone wanting to make a change to their body but someone having that change forced upon them.Is it a good film? Absolutely not. Don't waste your hard earned on this, if you really want to see it then wait for it to appear at 3am on some b-movie channel or with a Netflix / Amazon Prime subscription or other "free" method, but you won't get that time back.
brinksace-1 Once the part where Rodriguez no longer plays a man it was good. I even enjoyed the ending. A fitting way for it to end. Hope they make a part 2. Or another Assignment for Frankie!
wpkolkho I was trolling for something entertaining and free on Amazon Prime and thought I'd give this movie a chance. It is terrible to the point of not being watchable. I turned it off for good after about 45 minutes, so I must admit, I have not watched it all the way through. The start however was plodding, pedantic, pretentious, and boring. There is nothing convincing about this movie. It is without a doubt one of the worst movies I've ever seen.Be assured, you *can* find something better to do with your time!
