Hollywood Reporter

While there has been no shortage of theatrical and television documentaries dealing with transgender issues, Family in Transition stands out both for the particularities inherent in its setting and the deeply sympathetic individuals at its center.

Flick Filosopher

Frank and bittersweet, this is a quietly remarkable portrait of one father and husband's gender transition, and how the family coped - and didn't - with dramatic upheaval in the most intimate of settings: home.

Rated: 3.5/5
