A sensitive and educational film
Nothing new
....yet another special little snowflake movie with an unoriginal plot, and bad acting. I've got no qualms about gender issues. At my age I've shared my bed with everything except animals, and children. This movie doesn't say anything about the gender issue that hasn't been discussed since The Crying Game, or Hedwig, and the Angry Inch. Both of which I loved.
Very touching and honest look at life as FTM trans in America
I was impressed at the honesty of the entire family and the background of Coby before and after transition. Although they continued to misgender him when talking about him it still was relevant. There are not enough stories about trans masculine people and this documentary from 2016 is a great beginning. I wish there were more brave souls out there that would step up and give us a glimpse into their journey. It is both inspiring and hopeful for those struggling. A documentary is not a movie it is real life. They aren't actors. These are real people on a journey of self discovery.
