Warning: Spoilers
The way this begins almost made me not want to watch the rest of it. The opening was very rushed. We're automatically introduced to a husband who confesses that he was born in the wrong body. Jessica Lange who plays his wife, gives an odd performance. The way she reacts to his confesses didn't seem realistic, like bad acting on her part. Which surprised me cause she's a great actress. I assumed there would be a build up before his confession. Seeing him struggle through life, and his wife slowly realizing that something was wrong. Instead of showing this, the characters tell you this. First 15 minutes were shaky but I stuck through it. Glad I did. Jessica is an amazing actress, and so is eveyone else.

My favorite part about this was seeing all the people in his life, coworkers, his kids, and wife, react and dealing with this sudden change. I really liked how they finally accepted him without being too preachy about it. Movies like this usually have violence, foul language, or even sexual assault. But this was wholesome. Which was refreshing.
