There's laugh-out-loud comedy, but the script allows the humour to flow from the characters and particularly Sid. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Daniel O 10/05/2023 good movie to watch more of once See more 12/03/2019 covered the transgender journey and family issues well See more nilufer e @Nilicim 09/28/2019 I quite liked this movie about a transgender woman and her family bonds. It wasn't a laugh-out-loud kind of comedy but had a good sense of humor and was perfectly acted. See more 07/22/2019 This was so fun to watch. So many movies that try to approach this subject feel like they're trying too hard, or they shy away from the tougher issues altogether. Venus managed to strike a perfect balance. Thank you for telling me a good and entertaining story. See more 06/20/2019 Very satisfying comedy drama. Characters are believable and situations are realistic. Glad to see Zena Daruwalla bringing her mother character to life as a parent who must deal with so many new emotions. In the end all that matters is that love and acceptance from the mothers love brings the family together. See more 11/07/2018 Love this film. It's heartwarming, thoughtful and funny.
