Anita M Jul 9, 2026 I did not like watching a man playing a woman. I believe homosexuality is a sin. There was a lot of it in this movie. I did not like how the mother had a cross around her neck and she was portrayed as a villain.

But it has good elements to it and overall is worth watching. See more CRS Jul 3, 2026 Interesting movie but not sure why the lead female role was played by a man? It’s fine, but I thought maybe the ending would reveal some sort of reason for it… because it seemed intentional to me. (Or maybe the actor just happens to be transgender? But, again, it felt like that role was very intentional.) So in that sense, the ending didn’t match my expectations and was a little underwhelming. I just thought there’d be some point to it. Maybe there is, but I’m just missing it. (I’m writing this before doing any research on the film - I had no expectations going into it.) The lead character was charming and it was overall an entertaining movie and believable. See more LeeLeap Jul 1, 2026 Incredible. Unique. Hilarious. Touching. A gem of a film in an ocean of unremarkable movies. See more Abigail H @RT62703871 Aug 24, 2026 John Early’s Maddie reminds me of how the Kids in the Hall portrayed female characters. It is a real embodied performance that is somehow funny and silly and genuinely compassionate all the same time.
