Goofs:

Erros factuais: The bottle of Bree's mother's Premarin that Bree takes from the medicine cabinet is labeled as .06mg. Premarin is not available in that strength. It is available in several strengths, including 0.625mg. A 0.06mg dose would be sub-therapeutic.

Citações:

Bree Osbourne: Just because a person doesn't go around blabbing her entire biological history to everyone she meets doesn't make her a liar.

"Transamerica" is a delightful movie and a grasp of fresh air for independent movies.....

Independent movies have been losing some of their force during the years. They have not been making so much profit, partially because of so many blockbusters and successful franchises that are more and more often in the cinematic world. But out of all the independent films I've seen recently, "Transamerica" was the one that stayed in my mind. Wheter it is a touching comedy or funny drama, it is most importantly an amazing film, with polemic issues and intense character development.

"Transamerica" is a delightful movie and it sure is a grasp of fresh air for independent movies. The story is bold and never have I imagined a movie like this would dare come out. Hats off to Duncan Tucker, the writer/director of this great film. A male-to-female transsexual travels to New York after discovering she fathered a son, which is a rebellious runaway. Felicity Huffman is incredibly great in her role, making the viewer feel what she's feeling. Never has any actress been so good in her role as Felicity is. Everyone in the film deserves thumbs-up, but Felicity truly delivers.

To concentrate even more in the film's boldness and smartness would be the obvious. "Transamerica" is marvelous and that's enough. Although definitely not perfect (the film is somewhat long and sometimes boring), "Transamerica" offers much more any other independent movie I've seen could've offered.-----8/10
