Land of the free, what a joke - this documentary underlines the hyprocracy
GROUNDBREAKING, POIGNANT AND NEEDED
What a beautiful movie. Both lighthearted moments and shattering pain. An exploration of friendship, acceptance (of oneself and of others), and bravery. I'm so glad Will Farrell created this project to help his friend Harper feel at a home in the world rather than shuttered in a house at the edge of our continent.
Did I wait the entire movie for a certain theme song? Yes.
I could say more and this box seems to want me too, but I think you should experience this film for yourself. It's deeply personal. It explores self-hate, which we all carry in some way. And the powerful antidote of love and connection.
Friends
This was one of those, rainy day, alone at home doing chores so I'll just put something on, watches for me. Several times I found myself stopping to actually pay attention.
Although at times it's hard to tell when Ferrell is cry-acting or actually showing genuine emotion, that's either GREAT or TERRIBLE acting, but in either case this was a touching story about a pair of longtime friends essentially developing a new friendship and getting to know one another.
I have no trans friends, and to be honest, no real opinion on trans people. What I do have is a firm belief that m m it's YOUR life and so long as it doesn't bring harm to anyone else, you should do what makes you happy.
I enjoyed watching Ferrell bring some levity to otherwise very serious moments. I also enjoyed (and respected tremendously) Harper's willingness to be open and share some very personal and intimate feelings and moments.
If ur one of these ppl who think trans ppl are somehow causing harm to your 3rd grader (which is ridiculous) then don't bother watching this but otherwise it's a touching portrayal of two lifelong friends coming to terms with the changes in life and how it impacts their friendship. We should all be so lucky to have at least one friend like these two in our lives!
