BEYOND THE STARS
1 of 1 found this helpful Felicity Huffman portrays a "man" going through the change -- to become a woman.
If that were it, then it would be just another transgendered movie... but this real gurl shows that she' more woman then just another "Desperate Housewife" making movies for grins!
The film was done before making her debut on Desperate Housewives, and shows talents beyond the stars. The movie is original in its "characterization" of a man wanting desperately to become a real woman, and makes Julie Andrews from Victor/Victoria fame seem transparent. The depth of Felicity's role as "Brie" is believable, as she struggles to be the "father" her son never had... This works well, beyond the "cheap flicks" that have been made previously.... that portray transgendered roles as psycho-messes of society. Makes you really want this sex change to happen! See, fairy-tales can come true!
Recommended for all audiences - it's about time that real life comes to the big screen!
