While I applaud Michelle Hendley's breakout performance in particular, and the film's attempt to deal with transgender issues in general, my unavoidable conclusion is that this is really a perfectly awful film. It has no internal logic; the plot just sputters forward with no regard to character, dialog or common sense. There are so many instances of face-palm behavior that I couldn't begin to list them here. Another reviewer mentioned "Boys Don't Cry" (a movie about an event that took place 75 miles from where I live) as an example of a good transgender movie, and I would totally agree. "Boy Meets Girl," however is not even close to that standard, not even in the same universe. I would hope to see Michelle Hendley again, in a better movie. But this movie, no. What a mess.
