Wow. Our first LightShed 10. I really liked the portrayal of gays in the movie (and the movie is pretty good, but not amazing). Felicity Huffman is truly superb (and so is everybody else actually).
Transamerica tells us the story of Felicity Huffman's character, a pre-operative transsexual who finds out she has a son. The son, a teenage hustler, is played by Kevin Zegers. They travel together across the US. Yay!
Transamerica finally gives us a movie in which the transsexual is well raised (no major problems in her upbringing, abuse etc.), a pretty much together person. Felicity's character is called names, is (verbally) abused by her son and mom, but all comes down to understanding and acceptance (sort of). Great great portrayal, and I am happy the movie is getting the attention it deserves for Felicity's performance.
