Review
New York Times, 12/02/2005, p.E12, "That the film succeeds without slipping too far into sentimentality or didacticism is in no small measure the result of Ms. Huffman's wit and grace." Rolling Stone, 12/15/2005, p.162, 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he movie's soul is Huffman....She turns this small, resonant film into a cry from the heart." Entertainment Weekly, 12/09/2005, p.60-62, "For artistry and degree of technical difficulty, this judge awards Felicity Huffman a 10 for her performance in TRANSAMERICA." -- Grade: B- Movieline's Hollywood Life, 11/01/2005, p.100-102, "Huffman finds the dignity in this emerging woman, and Zegers is remarkably natural....The film builds to some touching moments between father/mother and son." Widescreen Review, 06/01/2006, p.65, "TRANSAMERICA features Felicity Huffman in an astonishing, believable, and Golden Globe-winning role." Ultimate DVD, 08/01/2006, p.111, 5 stars out of 5-- "[Huffman's] chameleon-like transfiguration is incredible, creating comedy and pathos in equal measure." Total Film, 08/01/2006, p.105, 4 stars out of 5 -- "Handsomely shot, subtly scripted and evocatively scored with bluegrass, folk and country and western..." Sight and Sound, 04/01/2006, p.42-78, "TRANSAMERICA affectionately delivers some familiar standards while twisting them with a new metrosexual spin." Uncut, 04/01/2006, p.134, 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his exploration of family ties and the tensions that threaten them has a caustic honesty and an unexpectedly universal resonance."

Product Notes
Felicity Huffman leaves the glamor of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES behind and makes a surprising diversion with this offbeat film. Playing an uptight male-to-female transsexual named Sabrina "Bree" Osbourne (née Stanley), Huffman gives a remarkable performance. Readying herself for the final snip that will make her womanly transformation complete, Bree's life takes a sudden turn when she receives a phone call from New York. Her son, Toby (Kevin Zegers), has been jailed, and Bree needs to post bail for him. The only problem is, Bree didn't know she had a son, but her therapist refuses to give her written permission to have the final part of her sex-change operation if she doesn't go, so Bree heads east from her California home. Thinking Bree is a Christian missionary, gay hustler Toby informs her of his intention to become a porn star on the west coast, which brings out plenty of motherly instincts in the worried cross-gender father. So the two take a road trip back west, with Bree unable to tell Toby the truths about who she is and what she once was.
