Boy Meets Girl (2014)

Touches You

Absolutely brilliant

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Blistering performances.

Boy Meets Girl is the first older film that I reviewed because I received the DVD recently, it came out in 2014. I would have to say that the film has some simple clichés, but it does some of the realities of transgender women in the south. The breakout star of the film was Michelle Hendley was perfect and I hope she gets more work soon. This film can be great film for parents to watch when there child comes out as transgender and it will help some come to term who their child was always supposed to be. I was shocked that this film was not nominated for any Golden Globes. The period setting was perfect when it comes to the costumes. Hair styling, and cars. I felt a powerful connection to this film because I am pre-male to female transgender woman and I currently live in the south currently. This film could have been ten minutes shorter. I hope there will be more transgender films to come including about transgender women of color as well religious transgender women. I believe this film is twenty minutes too long. I am giving this film 9 and ½ stars out of 10.

I have given my support for many LGBT themed movies, primarily those that are transgender based. Although I do admit, a lot of them are poorly written or are far from the truth. Boy Meets Girl is different. It is a beautiful depiction of what could truly happen in the life of a transgender girl. How do I know? Because I am a transgender girl myself.As a transgender girl myself, I will admit that I have had far more struggles than Ricky does on Boy Meets Girl, but that is primarily due to being a part of a large town. Ricky lives in a small town and people tend to be forced to get to know you. I have also come out to friends and family in my late 20's while Ricky came out early as a child. I found myself wishing I was more her, and less me. Then I watched her video she made when she was young, and believe it or not, I did something similar and I felt like I was Ricky.Why am I telling everyone this stuff? It's because the way this movie is written, allows you to better understand the complexity of the characters and yet feel for their struggles. It allows you to get drawn into their passion and cry through their pain. The characters are amazing and appear so natural. This movie is one of the most realistic, and beautifully written, transgender themed movies I have seen as of yet. Please like this review, then like this movie. Give "Boy Meets Girl" the exposure that it deserves!

Michelle Hendley is someone to watch for years to come. She has everything she needs at her disposal to be a fine actress. Michael Galante fills the screen with inevitability and tenderness.Both characters are treated tenderly, without being unrealistically squishy and phony. The directors and editors for this film made all the right choices, particularly in the more intimate scenes . . . my heart cried out for both characters.I didn't want to movie to end . . . good movies and good storytelling do that.I really like this movie!

NO spoilers aheadThis film offers inspiration, validation, encouragement, and permission to be ourselves, just as we are. I am a sixty-seven-year-old transsexual. I transitioned fifteen years ago, but after watching Boy Meets Girl, I realized that I still haven't given myself permission to completely embrace my new self. This wonderful movie made me realize I was still holding back out of fear of ridicule, rejection, and hatred.This film is a cure for that particular malady. You don't have to be young for it to work its magic.If you haven't seen this film, I highly recommend it. You don't have to be transgender to be moved by it, just a bit open-minded. It is a very sweet and honest love story.If you are in a position similar to mine - See This Movie! You won't regret it.A huge thank you to all involved in this gem.
