A VERY controversial film and at the same time a movie great as it does more. 
Controversial from the START. There is nothing on the screen for at least 5 minutes. No image! As the sound of a soundtrack a bit 'pompous '. 
Of course the Viewer is not used, and he is completely distraught by the 'opening' of this film... as it will be crippled for the rest of the film also. 
The viewer Gets a "brick" in the forehead! And for the first time in the history of Cinema, 
a transgender gets one of the key roles and gets a Canadian Screen Award nomination as Best Actress in a supporting role for Gabrielle Tremblay (see Google for info)
