Rating Criteria
0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.


4/5 – This was an interesting movie to think about intersex beings and what kind of issues many have. Whether or not the story is true, I liked learning about the complications of not being normally in accordance with the binary gender “standards”.

During November of 2019, I have learned more about intersex people (and not just “hermaphrodites”). I do believe that I will be researching more into this in the future. It isn't enough to merely say “I am a woman and all should be either men or women” - one should learn how others perceive life and accept it as a valid point. So what if a person is born male but feels that they are a female? So what if a person is attracted to both males and females? Live and let live, is what I am learning.

Highly recommended for those that want to view something different and to open your mind. If you want to be close minded, especially thinking in binary terms, this is not a movie for you.

Anyways, that's my movie review. Thanks for reading! I have over 30 movies to review to catch up between April 2019 and November 2019, so more reviews are to come.
