Felicity Huffman stars as Sabrina, a preoperative male-to-female transsexual living in L.A. The week before her surgery, the son she never knew she had calls from juvenile lockup in New York. He is looking for Stanley, his long lost father. Without revealing that she is/was Stanley, Sabrina flies to New York and the strangest road movie since The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert ensues. Along the way the two learn a bit about life, each other, and themselves.
The movie was poignant and at times humorous. The characters were very human with strengths, weaknesses, hopes, and fears. It's no wonder Felicity Huffman got an Oscar nomination for her performance.
4 out of 5 stars.
