Boy Meets Girl certainly isn't perfect, but it would do the film a tremendous disservice to focus on the missteps when there are so many things to love about this movie.

The profoundly sensitive, often wryly funny look at friendship, romance, sexual attraction and gender identity carries themes and dynamics that feel as timeless as they do up-to-the-minute.

Often, it feels conspicuously educational.

Both robust and delicate. It easily captures the natural rhythms of contemporary speech... while it raises intimate issues with great clarity and sensitivity.

Michelle Hendley offers a brave interpretation of the complex motives...

Indeed, it's extremely rare to see a transgender romcom at all. But it's even more rare to see one as refreshingly honest, bitingly funny, and ultimately touching as Boy Meets Girl.

It feels like it was made and acted by a couple of teenagers. It tries to be educational in the least natural way possible. It also fails at it, considering there is a scene where it is implied that babies are the only reason to use condoms.

Loved it. First time i have seen a transgender romcom! Michelle Hendley is absolutely wonderful. I found it charming, sentimental, witty. For me, well worth the watch.

While not perfect at all, it's a touching and well-handled film about love overall. An honest and complex rom-com drama and albeit simple look through the lens of young trans-woman "Ricky's" search for love and to be loved amongst other struggles.

The one part that could have added a bit more to it was the attraction/love that David had for Ricky. He said, "we did everything you can do." It was almost like he felt love for Ricky but societal norms made him act like a jerk, expected, especially in small town America. Ricky and Robby were awesome, especially when they realize they have loved each other in silence beautiful for years. Recommend for the whole family to watch, it can teach so much.
