It's often tough to watch, but this is a harrowing portrayal of prejudice and love in a small town world. Hilary Swank definitely deserved her Oscar with a performance that isn't afraid to go to the toughest of emotional places.

Love, tragedy and great performances. Worthy of the praise.

I've read into the Teena Brandon story for quite some time now. The reality is much more shocking and painful than any film that could ever be made, just because it is real. I highly reccommend reading up on or watching one of the many documentaries there are out there. In fact, I think you can watch one for free at fancast. Hilary Swank proves there's nothing she can't do, and Chloe Sevigny shines with near equal luster.

This is probably the best movie about the gay community I've ever seen.

Hilary Swank gives a breathtaking, Oscar-winning performance as the complex Brandon Teena/Teena Brandon and is nearly matched by Chloe Sevigny. This is such a devastating and anger-inducing motion picture and all the more so because it's a true story. One of the saddest movies I have ever seen.

Interesting movie, good, not great. The acting is fantastic, though. The whole process is pretty average done.
