Customer Reviews of Different For Girls
Accurate and empowering Wow. Steven Mackintosh does a *great* job of portraying a transsexual woman on her journey from fear and stealth to love and empowerment. I'm not sure exactly what it is that Kim is supposed to see in Prentiss (although I do understand about love for one's high school sweetheart being pretty blind), but still, they don't seem to have all that much in common. But that's the way that romantic comedies work, isn't it?
Nits to pick: 1) They had sex with no lube?! Ouch! (Transsexual women aren't usually able to self- lubricate.) 2) Provera is a progestin, not an estrogen, and wouldn't be Kim's primary hormone after surgery. (It's also nasty stuff better avoided in favor of micronized progesterone.) 3) The film editor picked absolutely the *worst* possible angle for Kim in the "afterglow" scene -- she looks like a guy.
Other than that, though, the film was remarkably accurate (right down to the dilating stent in Kim's medicine cabinet), and strongly empowering. It left me with a warm fuzzy feeling.
An *Awesome* - BUT - "True* Movie
I throughly enjoyed this movie from beginning to end! When I first saw it, I cried because I am a Transsexual (a label given by the Psychiatric profession to people "Born" with this medical condition). I watch this movie at least once a week because I "Totally" relate to what Kim went through during her Transition as well as her life afterward especially in dealing with her family, friends, co-workers, law enforcement, etc. The actor who portrayed Kim did an "AWESOME" performance in his portrayal of a woman -- in her walk, talk, mannerisms, reactions to every situation that she found herself in, and her quiet moments by herself.
The actor who played her friend "Printice" did a wonderful job in portraying her close friend from earlier in life even if he still exhibited immaturity in different situations. His reactions to Kim, what she looked like as a woman, her attitude towards him, his reactions to her, and the situations he found himself in were wonderful because they depicted the reactions that most people would find themselves in if they experienced the same things that Printess did. I HIGHLY recommend this film to everyone!
Good acting, decent script, just not my cup of tea
Different for Girls is an interesting film. It is well acted and well directed. However, I don't know that it is a film for everyone. It deals with the subject of post "change" of a transgendered person and how they try to fit in to society. It is quite touching and sensitive. Steven Mackintosh is quite good as the transgendered person and Rupert Graves is dynamite as he is in everything he does.
If there is a problem with this film, it's that it seems to be preaching a bit more than I think it should. I'd rather see it less a drama and more "a day in the life of" sort of film.
