5 stars. Really enjoyed this troubled journey of two people on a desperate search for themselves and each other. Amazing acting, outstanding story, joyous, truthful and a bit wacky!

This is one of those movies I keep meaning to see, but never get around to it. I should grab it off the shelf here at work.

What struck me the most was how self-conscious and uptight Bree was about her body when seen in her underwear by her son. That really brought home to me what was going on: he really felt he was a woman, not just a guy in drag who could switch to a man's mentality by getting undressed. It seems like I usually see transvestites depicted in movies as flamboyant and defiant - here I am honey, like me or not - but this seemed like the more realistic side with all the pain and determination to do what had to be done in order to resolve the gender issues. Playing on my cable CD channel right now: Pineapple Princess by Na Leo Pilimehana - wiki wiki waki, Wakiki.
