TransAmerica #838
[DVD] [2005 Duncan Tucker]
Felicity Huffman's performance as a woman playing a man, wanting to become a women is a strong performance through the film. In what is essentially a 'road movie' we follow Bree Osbourne (Felicity) as he travels across America after learning that a son he fathered has become a hustler on the streets. Complimenting this performance is Kevin Zegers who is extremley convincing as the hustler unaware of the family connection with Bree Osbourne. Both warm, funny and at times confronting, this film is certainly one to watch. 2.5 / 5

Film notes: Felicity Huffman was nominated for the 2006 Best Actress Oscar.
Film Title: 'TransAmerica' is a reference to the transgender journey Huffman takes across American states.
