Indie gem. Authentic small town atmosphere. Superb acting especially from leads. Few movies stay with you. This one did for me. (viewed 9/16)

This movie was so offensive I had a panic attack, all she does is run around screaming "I'm trans I'm trans!" and the whole section about trans woman dating woman = heterosexual and trans woman dating men = gay??? WHAT? What is this? I thought we were all about "genitalia doesn't define us"?!?!?!? Way to kick ourselves in the teeth and take 100 steps back. The title of the movie "Boy Meets Girl" is literally about this trans woman meeting a girl, calling her a boy. This movie was written by a 50 year old born and living male. I'm glad they actually used a trans actress, but seriously? This is not how its done. If you want to see how trans awareness is done, watch I Am Jazz or The Bold and Beautiful.

NO spoilers aheadThis film offers inspiration, validation, encouragement, and permission to be ourselves, just as we are. I am a sixty-seven-year-old transsexual. I transitioned fifteen years ago, but after watching Boy Meets Girl, I realized that I still haven't given myself permission to completely embrace my new self. This wonderful movie made me realize I was still holding back out of fear of ridicule, rejection, and hatred.This film is a cure for that particular malady. You don't have to be young for it to work its magic.If you haven't seen this film, I highly recommend it. You don't have to be transgender to be moved by it, just a bit open-minded. It is a very sweet and honest love story.If you are in a position similar to mine - See This Movie! You won't regret it.A huge thank you to all involved in this gem.

Someone said this movie is a piece of propaganda, and I'm no film expert, but EVERY movie is some kind of propaganda. This is a low budget indie film, no one makes these movies simply for entertainment, the filmmaker had something to say and they SAID IT!So A) if you're homophobic or transphobic you WILL NOT like this movie B) if you expect the main characters to be Sandra Bullock and James Franco, you WILL NOT like this movie.These are young people and for many if not all of them this is their first movie. In the beginning especially the script is rough, the chemistry is questionable, and the plot moves unrealistically fast. BUT about half-way in you can see the characters (and their actors) develop, the chemistry grows between everyone, and the plot is actually very interesting and unexpected.The academy and people who watch movies for technical things are not going to applaud this film, because to be honest it could have used a lot of work. But the subject is fresh, the content is good, and if you're trying to learn more about the transgender (and LGBQ) community this is a great film that I'm sure you will enjoy! PS - someone said this movie is trying to suggest everyone is a little gay, it kind of is. We kind of are :)
