“This intriguing and challenging documentary examines the ‘pervasive narrative’ in the transgender community. Why do individuals undergoing gender reassignment have to ‘pass’ as a man or a woman, rather than be accepted for who they are and how they look? …Rosskam provides considerable food for thought…Yet perhaps the most striking narrative is from Willy Wilkinson [who] shrewdly incorporates race, class, sexuality, and gender in a series of transfixing (pun intended) performances.”

“Arguably the best movie about gender I’ve ever viewed...remarkably intelligent, sensitive and powerful…bold spoken word performances from Willy Wilkinson."
