Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

bethanyj This documentary is extremely well-made, taking the subject of gender that many tend to steer away from and making it personal, emotional, and applicable. Robert Eads is faced with a profound irony - after living his life as a man, he finds that the only biological part of him that is female is killing him. The infuriating piece of this story is that he is denied treatment because of his gender identity. The tragedy of this story is powerful, and it allows viewers to see the reality of society's prejudices against people who do not fit into perfect categories. The end of the film leaves viewers with an important question, "Nature delights in diversity. Why don't human beings?"

legallyblonde254 This documentary has won many awards and I can see why. This is one of the best documentaries that I have ever seen. It is about a trans-gender from a woman to man named Robert Eads. This takes place in rural Toccoa, Georgia where Robert resides in a trailer. Because of prejudice and hate, the doctors refuse to treat Robert's ovarian cancer, which develop in his existing ovaries. He finds comfort in his trans-gender girlfriend Lola Cola and attends his last Southern Comfort conference. This film taught me a lot about diversity and how it is at times disregarded in this country. This made me open my eyes and stand up for the minorities of this country. I hope that the people who view this will get the same feeling whenever they view this documentary

Haydeck This has to be the best documentary I have ever seen. Just a matter of time when someone will do a movie about Robert Eads, the most extraordinary southern cowboy. This documentary could have been mediocre if it wasn't for him, his incredible wit, optimism and intelligence. A real man from head to toes who ironically died of a widespread ovarian cancer, primarily because no doctor wanted to treat a transsexual. It is a marvelous real life drama that doesn't preach, it simply delivers the story that deeply touches you, points out the stupidity of prejudices and inhumanity of American health system and rises questions about what gender really means.

Bob This film won the Grand Jury Documentary prize at Sundance this year.Against the narrative of Robert, a transgender female-to-male responding to the irony of ovarian cancer, the director creates a deeply moving portrayal of love and determination in the face of prejudice.Robert lives in rural Georgia, which he describes as "Bubba country" and the "home of the KKK." Nonetheless most of Robert's encounters with the heterosexual community are recounted as upbeat examples of surprising tolerance. Without any pretense, artifice, or apology, he is magnetically compelling in speech and movement. His complete lack of bitterness sets aside the distractions of his cancer, enabling the viewer share his satisfaction in life as a man and his joy in his relationships.In spite of challenging subject matter, this documentary of Robert's self-selected "family" of transgendered men and women (and one heterosexual partner) is unerring in its ability to humanize without condescension. By not politicizing or sensationalizing her subjects' gender issues, the director has achieved a profoundly affecting emotional depth.The film is loving and in its clarity, refreshing. I recommend it highly.
