January 8th: "Transamerica" Movie Night @ CHAC 6-8pm
|
"Felicity Huffman is absolutely brilliant as a pre-op male to female transsexual forced to take a cross-country road trip with the son she never knew she had in the smart, touching dramedy, "TransAmerica."
Writer/Director Duncan Tucker, takes the so-called normal dynamics of a family and adds a few delicious twists.
A father receives a phone call informing him his son's in a New York jail. Up until the phone call, the man had no idea he fathered a child. That's a twist we've seen before however in "Transamerica," the long-lost dad is a transgender woman now named Bree who's days away from having the genital operation which will in essence be the final step in the long process of becoming a woman.
Bree knows the only sexual dalliance she had in her life as a male was a misguided fling in college, and this teenage boy must be the result of that brief relationship. But that knowledge does nothing to settle her already frazzled nerves.
Locked up in NY, Toby (Kevin Zegers) has no idea his dad is a transsexual living in stealth mode, meaning no one outside of a couple of doctors know the person he thinks is his dad is not biologically a woman. Unsure of what to do, Bree confides in her therapist who in turn refuses to sign off on Bree's surgery until she deals with the situation.
Arriving in New York from LA, Bree introduces herself to Toby as a church woman whose mission it is to help him get straightened out. Toby's basically a good kid, he's just had a hard life and has turned to hustling on the streets as well as doing drugs to get by. The two are about as unlikely a pair of traveling companions as could be dreamed up. As they journey from the East Coast to the West, their relationship goes from antagonistic to civil to something much deeper." - TransAmerica
