Transsexual movie review

Bonjour!

It's been a while, what can I say I don't feel inspired lately, I'm longing for moving back to France.
I'm tired of living in the US,I've been here too long... I feel disconnected, I guess it has to do with the place i'm living in, 40 miles north of SF, rolling hills, cow farms,big pick-up trucks, good place to raise a family they say, hmmm... I miss the city.

I've been watching a lot of movies lately, and once in a while I stumble on some offbeat remarkable genuine movie like "Different for Girls" an English production, set in london.

here is what a critic(Stephen Holden) from the New York times says about it.
"If it weren't so beautifully understated, Steven Mackintosh's portrayal of a shy but determinedly independent transsexual named Kim Foyle in ''Different for Girls'' might qualify as the stunt performance of the year."

Then he goes on talking about the movie itself which I will no print. It's for you to discover it by yourself.

But I really do agree, the acting is remarkable, to a point that I was wondering if the "transsexual part" was performed by a real trans.

I just will add anther quote from his article:
" The screenplay is very scrupulous in detailing the process of sexual reassignment, from both the medical and psychological perspectives, and in distinguishing transsexualism from transvestism and homosexuality. In preaching the gospel of individual freedom and self-fulfillment and tolerance for all, it suggests that the land of the stiff upper lip is finally warming up after a long and bitter chill."

So if you have'nt seen yet, buy it, rent it, whatever you do , see it. It will make you feel good.

Love to all
