| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohIt's absorbing, often stomach-turning stuff, but, in the interests of filling feature length, the filmmakers stretch things out too much. |
| Juicy CerebellumAlex SandellPoorly done documentary. Rent 'Girls Don't Cry' instead. |
| New York Magazine/VultureJohn LeonardWe are left with a sort of punk bafflement. |
| User ReviewJulie Mexquisitely haunting, painful, informative documentary of the persecution, rape, and killing of an innocent trans identified person |
| User ReviewTracy FThis movie was truly heartbreaking to watch. It's sad that this even happened,simply because people were uncomfortable within themselves and plain old ignorance. |
| User ReviewJohn Tamazing documentary. a must see. so sad :( |
| User ReviewRebbecca CGreat. True life events. Sad that someone with so much potential had to die that way. |
| User ReviewLouise CThis is real life and it's sad that people act like idots when someone is different from them. I'm glad that Brandon had the guts to be himself no matter what life threw his way. |
| User ReviewCharlotte Cthis great true story of a young women who want to be a guy |
| User ReviewEmily SFANTASTIC documentary. Everyone needs to see this. It is so real and it just kills me that such an amazing person like Brandon was murdered for no reason at all. He is such an inspiration. Some parts of this are hard to watch and listen to, but it is interesting and important. |
