this film deserve recognition by virtue of it cinematography and for the first class ( almost brilliant ) job do by the lead actress . the story be over worked and under research . the suspension of disbelief must be support in drama and not undermine a it be here . for a man to change sex and face a mirror for the benefit of the audience ( look and breast and no penis ) and then declare that she felt no different but only look different and be the big insult ever level at woman in the history of storytelling . the difference between men and woman ( even the obvious one ) go far and above breast and a penis . for many reason and the story be too simplistic too obviously a slap in the face for pater and a nudge in the rib for anyone who would giggle and snort or nod knowingly . what could have be a meaningful story about the dreadful abuse of woman and the crazy notion forge by generation after generation of self interested and jealous and frightened men of power and turn out to be a soulless and simple romp and highlight here and there with the help of painting by number .
