Thanks for the memories!

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Spoiler free. Be aware that it is not a requirement to like a film just because of its subject matter. I went into this film thinking I'd be watching a fun rom-com that was especially different to the usual fare, in that the female lead was a trans character and a trans actress which is a brilliant step towards wider acceptance in film.What I got instead was a fairly sub standard film that didn't entirely work - be it due to the average acting ability of some of the characters; the lacklustre attempt to explain large chunks of the story and why things were suddenly happening; the relatively boring plot or the cartoonishly evil additional characters who were there only to serve as recipients of zingers that I felt someone had written as responses to someone who had upset them in the past.Of course if you're not looking for a coherent storyline and interesting fleshed out characters then I assume this will be the film for you. After all due to the large amount of 10 out of 10 rating which I find laughable - I get the impression this film could have been worse and people would have rated it top marks regardless due to the subject matter, which isn't right - just because something is trying to convey a positive message about a certain subject - doesn't mean it's automatically the greatest thing in the world that surpasses criticism. If I can find a way to post a spoiler review I can go into details about why this film fell flat for me.

When I first showed interest in this film it seemed to be an unknown mid twenties typical predictable romantic comedy. I was most certainly proved wrong. The statement about 'Boy Meets Girl' being one of the best films I have ever seen is an understatement really. It is long overdue to see some representation of a member of the LGBTQI+ community being portrayed in a way that deviates from the stereotypical way that has become almost a trend in current media. Having a trans girl protagonist is so refreshing and while some moments were typical - I believe this was because almost all members of the LGBTQI+ community experience the same general stigma from society - there were flourishes of pure narrative originality in terms of this topic that can only be described as 'refreshing'. I constantly had my mouth dropping open at unexpected twists and "omg" moments. At the same time as being realistic to the point that the story was relatable but not mundane,this film offered an originality I have not seen in any film thus far - and I have watched a fair few in my short years - which may be accountable to the casting of a trans actress in the leading role. The acting was second to none, being a fan of Michael Welch I was not disappointed at all. Using that age old cliché; I was well a truly kept on my toes. I will be recommending this film to any and all fellow film fanatics I talk to and will be watching it as many times as Netflix will allow me to!

This was the most beautiful movie I have seen in years. Wonderful message of acceptance for the young (teenagers) and old. I think that the US desperately needed this movie right now and the world can really benefit from it too.Also, what a fantastic and fearless lead actress! I can't wait to see more work of her and other transgender actors.Overall, a bittersweet story of the struggles of life as a transgender person who is trying to fit into our society. It leaves you wrapped around a fuzzy feel-good feeling.Go watch it, you will not regret it.

Someone said this movie is a piece of propaganda, and I'm no film expert, but EVERY movie is some kind of propaganda. This is a low budget indie film, no one makes these movies simply for entertainment, the filmmaker had something to say and they SAID IT!So A) if you're homophobic or transphobic you WILL NOT like this movie B) if you expect the main characters to be Sandra Bullock and James Franco, you WILL NOT like this movie.These are young people and for many if not all of them this is their first movie. In the beginning especially the script is rough, the chemistry is questionable, and the plot moves unrealistically fast. BUT about half-way in you can see the characters (and their actors) develop, the chemistry grows between everyone, and the plot is actually very interesting and unexpected.The academy and people who watch movies for technical things are not going to applaud this film, because to be honest it could have used a lot of work. But the subject is fresh, the content is good, and if you're trying to learn more about the transgender (and LGBQ) community this is a great film that I'm sure you will enjoy! PS - someone said this movie is trying to suggest everyone is a little gay, it kind of is. We kind of are :)
