The fine actresses drew me to see this movie. And they do act well. As for the story - that's another thing. It seems like some indie films are trying to outdo each other in finding the most bizarre and novel family combination possible. This one has lesbian grandmothers, unwed mother who slept with 2 brothers, and the central focus a girl wanting to transition to a boy. Didn't really get much insight into the mind of a transgender. The little melodrama is more on the contrived side.
Elle Fanning is a strange choice to play the central character. She still acts and looks very feminine with her sweet smile and delicate features. K Stew would have been better in this role. Naomi Watts can act anything well and she kept me watching a rather tiresome and unsympathetic character. Susan Sarandon is fun to watch.
Not really worth watching.
