Tomboy (2011) Movie Trailer HD

Rocket Releasing presents writer-director Celine Sciamma's multiple award-winner TOMBOY, a truly contemporary coming of age story, scheduled to open in New York on November 16 followed by a national roll out. In Ms. Sciamma's ('Water Lilies") second feature, a French family with two daughters, 10-year-old Laure (Zoe Heran) and 6-year-old Jeanne (Malonn Levana), moves to a new neighborhood during the summer holidays. With her Jean Seberg haircut and tomboy ways, Laure is immediately mistaken for a boy by the local kids and decides to pass herself off as Mikael, a boy like the others but different enough to catch the attention of leader of the pack Lisa (Jeanne Disson) who becomes smitten with him. At home with her parents (Mathieu Demy and Sophie Cattani) and girlie younger sister she is Laure, while hanging out with her new pals and girlfriend, she is Mikael. Finding resourceful ways to hide her true self Laure takes advantage of her new identity as if the end of the summer would never reveal her unsettling secret. Celine Sciamma ("Water Lilies") brings a light and charming touch to this tale of childhood gender confusion, which is also about relationships between children, children and parents, and the even more complicated one between one's heart and body.

My friends mother was a cross dresser in her teen years had short hair wore boys clothes and one day she fell for her best friend (he thought she was a dude) so she stopped wearing boys clothes and grew out her hair they got married this is a true story we saw the movie with her and that's when she told us about her teen years and how hard it was to fit in.

it isn't about being a tomboy, it is about being a transboy.

Not everyone develops the same way, you know. Some small, some big, some tall..

I'm sorry, real life doesnt consist of explosions and orgies.

I disagree, I was a tomboy, I don't identify as trans, and I related really strongly to the main character. That's what's so great about this film -- a lot of people who identify differently can see themselves reflected in it.

No, you are wrong. There is a difference between being a girl who wants to to boy things and likes typical boy things (a tomboy) and a transboy. A transboy, as in this movie, is a biological female that's gender orientation doesn't align with the gender roles assigned to his sex. In addition there is a longing to have the body of the other sex. For example, in the movie he makes a fake penis. Not something a tomboy would do, rather what a transgendered child would do.

No, actually is about a tomboy. She is no lesbian either trans.
