I don't care about this movie being well-acted and scripted, because it's reflecting what is actually happening in this screwed up society that is well beyond any type of saving. Here's the simple truth: If you are born a boy, you are a boy, and if you are born a girl, you are a girl. Why in the vast universe would somebody go through the trouble of changing their sex, just to be picked on even more?! I hope this world ends before we all come to accept this as a normal lifestyle. All of you insecure pansies that want to support these unwanted creatures for doing this to themselves need to grow a set and realize that this is humanly wrong! God help us all....

It's pretty good when you consider the atmosphere and cinematography but it will be difficult to tell how you feel about this film. I ended up feeling more for the wife than the main character, "Lilly." It seems like what she went through was far more moving and profound than what Lilly was going through. Ultimately, I didn't really care about Lilly. I cared about her wife.

This movie is trash. The satanic Hollywood agenda of shoving transsexuals down our throats are just getting stronger. Almost all "women" actresses and singers are really transgendered men. It's been going on long before Hollywood started. This movie is trying to normalize trannies as being an everyday part of life. It's not normal. It never will be. Stop watching TV and live in the real world. It's all these types of movies and tv shows that are bringing this disgusting mentality to our heads in the first place.
