Tanya’s Score: Good-and-a-half*
Rated: 14A
Starring: Carly Reynolds; Becky Conner
Plot: Based on the true story of young transgender man Brandon Teena (Hilary Swank) – who tries to find his way in rural Nebraska.
Tanya’s Verdict: This honest and slightly-dated portrayal is heartbreaking at every turn. Hilary Swank is superbly cast in the role of Brandon – and won her first of two Oscars for it. My girls both liked it too.
