Transamerica

+Felicity Huffman, good performance.

The movie has a light hearted comical mood to it while dealing with some important issues regarding the transgender, their accpetence and existence in the society. The lead (Stanley/Bree) has sort of mania to blend in, partly attributed to her physical difference from the majority of the society and partly attributed to the slightly dysfunctional family she belonged. There is a quest, a search for her own self, and she tries to grope for herself while trying to help her son. She experiences 'falling for someone feeling', she becomes aware that she is capable of hurting someone (her son) ... and a well knit sequence of events which give her more belief into her existence.

If you pour a little bit more you find that being a bit different from the majority around you can be dauntingly difficult. Imagine you are the only man or woman in a totally transgender world.!

The direction is simple, the setting is totally American, spanning from NY to Kansas to texas to new mexico to LA. The story flows at its pace and may be some more editing would have helped.
It is not a shallow movie and it is easy to get bored ... but think of it everyone is unique... so long as u are happy with urself u are 'blended' in.
