Mey Rude Autostraddle If you're a trans person, this battle might be all too familiar to you and you might not get a lot of out of this documentary, but if you're looking to learn and feel for trans people, Growing Up Coy is a good option. Aug 17, 2021 Full Review Nigel M. Smith Guardian Coy's fight for equal rights is the focus of the documentary, but it's the family's willingness to allow Juhola into their turbulent lives that gives it the emotional heft needed to connect with even the most conservative of viewers. Rated: 4/5 Jun 15, 2016 Full Review Christopher Campbell Thrillist A powerfully empathic film for the cause of trans rights. Feb 9, 2018 Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media Parents fight for trans child's rights in informative docu. Rated: 3/5 Jun 27, 2017 Full Review Janet Smith Georgia Straight The doc is most fascinating as a portrait of a humble family, one with five children scraping to get by, facing a battle they might not be fully prepared for, but ready to go to the wall for a child they love unconditionally. Oct 12, 2016 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Maven's Nest The film is strongest at showing the personal stress from what follows [the law suit] in intimate verité style. . .for this family living in the media storm is a nightmare. Rated: 7/10 Aug 7, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews
