Transamerica

I have not watched a really nice and touching movie for quite some time, until today.

Transamerica is a multiple award winning independent dramedy film about a transsexual woman, Bree (Felicity Huffman) who is going to undergo her final surgery procedure to fully become a woman, until she receives a call from a boy, Toby (Kevin Zegers), who claims to be his son. Afraid that Bree is unable to face her own past, her therapist refuses to give a go for her operation unless she can finally accept her/his old self. Toby turns out to be Bree's son, who she had with her/his college friend, a juvenile delinquent who works as a male hustler for his living. The shows then follows the story of Bree who goes on a road trip with Toby, which changes their lives tremendously.


Personal journey towards self discovery is one of the few major themes depicted of the movie and the director did an amazing job depicting this controversial and contentious issue of transsexualism in a hilarious, and yet touching manner. Felicity Huffman has also done an excellent job portraying the character of a transsexual women in the show. She has been nominated and won numerous awards, including the Golden Globe and the Academy, for her amazing performance in Tranamerica.



I hope that everyone can go and catch a glimpse of this incredible film. It is definitely worth downloading and watching.

Once again, Tansamerica.
