Our take
Shot in a vérité style, this groundbreaking portrait of a young trans girl traces a family’s struggle for acceptance in the face of bigotry and bureaucracy. Sébastien Lifshitz’s frank yet nuanced study of gender dysphoria winds up as a blistering state-of-the-nation diagnostic on identity.
