Observer (UK)

There's a candid urgency to it, and an engaging, mercurial lead from Tilda Cobham-Hervey as Billie.

Little White Lies

What seems to be a queer issue film morphs into a rich thematic brew depicting how family, sexuality and time are all bound up in defining one another.

Rated: 3/5

Vague Visages

With a masterful sense of direction, 52 Tuesdays triumphs by turning the camera around to create a self-reflexive and unique film.

One Room With A View

Well-drawn and well-acted, this microbudget Australian pic deserves to be seen by everyone. Genuine and realistic, this is empathetic without kowtowing to overwrought trans tragedy: Adelaide Buyers Club this ain't.

Rated: 5/5

How rare...a truly original movie. I was totally engrossed. The performances were remarkable. The script brave and authentic. Cinematic, moving...I loved it and the people it portrayed. Billie is a character that will stay with me.

Really good script and cut of a story that appears spontaneous. Like the slice of life of a family of a trans in transformation during a year. The story is edgy in a few aspects and the telling of it is fetching and interesting. We can never guess what is coming. Very well done in a very realistic way. And I like how brave people are in this.

Such an interesting and good movie and you would never know the leads were not real actors. A girls mother starts to transition into a man and so she is sent to live with her dad. Once a week every Tuesday she visits home. This is filmed over a year and is well worth a watch

Raw and remarkable movie about transgender and the effect it has on one family. Strength, love, family, trust, commitment. These things endure.
