@PurplenovaX My feeling is that a mainstream actor was used to boost the movies marketability but I do agree that her performance was spot on. She portrayed every stress, every challenge, each action with the same reality that I experience in my life.
As much as I also would have liked for there to be a transexual playing the lead role, I am happy that this movie received as much publicity as it did. This way more people will have a real face to attach to us rather than a joke.
@Estrodile I'm 16, I'm not transgender, but my friend at school is. It's a shame that not many transgender people are represented in films....and when they are, they are often made as a joke...I think it's cool that movies like this can portray transgender people in a serious way. Hopefully more films about transgender people will come out (scuze the pun), after all, there has been a rise in gay films coming out, so hopefully there will for transgender people
@Mariexb44 Please don't EVER use that "s" term again! Doing so instantly identifies you as having a negative prejudice towards transexuals. I understand you made this comment three years before this response to it, however I felt I should make you aware of the painful implications that word has for every transwoman.

Felicity Huffman's performance in this movie was magnificent & the writing was superb.
I was nice to see some of my favorite trans actors, like Calpernia Adams, in the movie. She was rocking the house with the fiddle.

Awesome 8).
Pity they couldn't have used a transgender or transsexual for the role.
I am sure that will in no way detract from this movie or individual performances.
