David Lamble Bay Area Reporter There's poignancy in Lukas' late-night English Internet chats with comrades in transition, and growing doubts that he can earn his new body without losing his mind and old friends. Jun 18, 2020 Full Review Amanda Jane Stern Film Inquiry While this film strives to tell an important story, and does get points for being one of the few films out there about a trans-man who gets a happy ending, it is mired in unlikable characters who run the gamut of stereotypes. Mar 10, 2020 Full Review Jamie Neish CineVue What Bernardi has achieved is a frank, shrewd, well-written and very well performed film that incorporates prominent, under-explored transgender and LGBT themes that challenges preconceived notions and ideas. Rated: 3/5 Aug 13, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Pleasantly surprised. Wonderful movie that may help one understand gender identity and sexual attraction/orientation; and how the one is independent of the other. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member this movie was beautiful, well-executed and represented the trans community hella well!! 10/10 would recommend Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty interesting plot, but with a bit too many cliché bits unfortunately. Still, learnt something about how sexual identity and orientation are different. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member 3.5 Stars: Thankfully it is sweet and not a tragedy! Leaves a few things unresolved, but takes a beautiful and metaphorical path. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member A romantic drama centring on a pre-op transexual FTM man as he struggles with college life "in the closet". A romance develops with a man and his one friendship and ally from his past gets sidelined. It's a very touching drama and the issues are handled well. The differences between transgender and transsexual are underlined here like I have seen in no other film. Well acted. Well shot. Groundbreaking. My only problem I had was with a man being cast as Lukas. Though the make up effects are rather good, at no time did I believe that Rick Okon (Lukas) was ever a female. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is really great. I don't think we see enough films with transgendered people as the lead, let alone they get to be in relationships. This was pretty steamy and heart warming.
