Transamerica is a one-of-a-kind film about a pre-operative male-to-female transsexual. An almost unrecognizable Felicity Huffman plays Bree brilliantly. You really think she is a man successfully passing as a woman, with help of hormones and preliminary surgery. With a story like this you expect some horrible tragedy, like she's outed and gets beat up. To the filmmakers' credit, the story keeps true to the experience of an individual struggling to find her voice. The special features, especially the full commentary, are worth watching as well.
