Swank distills the complexities of Brandon's life into a powerful performance. Reminds me of Renee Falconetti. Sevigny is Swank's equal.
Hard movie to watch. It does portray violence against a trans male. It does tell the story really well though& Swank did justice to Brandon
Amazing performance from Hilary Swank, very heartbreaking and great film
The acting is incredible. Difficult subject matter but done really well.
A snapshot of life for a teenager outside the norm. How mindless conformism can be cruel. Film has a simple message: Be kind. Swank is 👍
This is a top match movie and I highly recommend a star studded performance by Swank set in nebraska about a female and her sexual identity
I loved this film; it portrays the rough struggle of having to hide ones identity, despite of comfort. Beautiful, emotional, heartbreaking
This one is fucked up and true. Hits very hard.
This movie should come with a trigger warning, or several.
Good but very sad. Very strong performances
