An Honest Good Film
By paul from Portsmouth , 09 Aug 2006[Highly rated reviewer]
Not many of us knowingly encounter transengedered persons so this is somewhat of a new topic, one that could (if I am honest) be a bit uncomfortable to watch if handled wrongly, but this is sensitive, funny, sweet, educational and entertaining. Hinged on excellent very credible performances from ALL the actors, helped along by a good script. Sometimes the sound seems a little off, and it isn't a big budget film by any degree, but what a refreshing change from the usual 2hrs of pointless explosions and sex you routinely get from Hollywood.- Was this review helpful to you?

(220)heartwarmingly honest
By adslife (3 reviews) , 16 May 2013Warm, engaging and definitely brings the subject matter to an honest open and heartwarming conclusion. Its a journey for the two main characters with a truth that many films seldom deliver. Felicity Huffman and Kevin Zegers give outstanding performances and truly deserve huge credit for what they have achieved. I recommend this a must watch.- Was this review helpful to you?

And you think your dad's a drag?
By Oldbloke (308 reviews) from Sidmouth , 05 Dec 2012Fragile transexual Bree is awaiting her final operation, when she discovers that a son she fathered years earlier is now a delinquent on the streets of New York. Without revealing her true indentity, she post his bail and offers to drive him home. This is no limp-wristed drag movie, Felicity Huffman is quite remarkable as a funny sensitive sole, trying to come to terms with being different. An encounter with her family is the only false note in a film that is rendered unmissable by the central performance alone.- Was this review helpful to you?

"Life Is A Journey. Bring An Open Mind".
By a customer , 20 May 2012I enjoyed 'Transamerica' and there were quite a few chuckles along the way.....
But, it was a case of why say ten words, when you can say a thousand?
It did tend to go on too long and would have been much better as a shorter film.- Was this review helpful to you?

Mother and father of originality.
By SE17 (8 reviews) from London , 10 Feb 2012[Highly rated reviewer]
A really original and engaging film with an outstanding central performance from Felicity Huffman. Transexuality may be a challenging subject for some, but it is handled with such delicacy, warmth and insight that the viewer takes it on board with sympathy and understanding. It's also a warm and funny story about a mother and son getting to know each other in most unusual circumstances.- Was this review helpful to you?
