What critics compared Transamerica to
The last mainstream – albeit indie – film to feature a transgendered main was “Transamerica” (2005), in which Felicity Huffman played the cross-gendered protagonist; she was deservingly nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Actress category.
Emma Bell (2007's " Gracie "), Shawn Ashmore (2008's " The Ruins ") and Kevin Zegers (2005's " Transamerica ") deliver terrific performances equaling the intensity that writer-director Adam Green ratchets, embodying specific individuals rather than easy types.
