Transamerica Ratings & Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Writer-director Duncan Tucker does little to develop his narrative setup beyond the basic and obvious, and his film begins to feel more like an exercise than a fully realized story.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
It's funny in spots, touching in others and uniformly life-affirming.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Huffman's performance in Transamerica, as a pre-op male-to-female transsexual coping with the sudden emergence of a long-lost son, is much better than the movie it's in; indeed, she singlehandedly takes Transamerica to a higher plane.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
It's a farce with heart, a meditation on identity, family and gender politics that has real faith in its characters -- even when the characters themselves lack it.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
Huffman makes it a must-see.
Detroit News
Tom Long
A generally fun movie that offers a different perspective on, well, a different perspective.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
It's all a little too cute and pat to be believable, and Tucker can't resist showing us everything he has learned about transsexuals in between the embarrassing moments and odd encounters.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Felicity Huffman's performance as Bree is striking in much the way Charlize Theron's was in Monster.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
The key to Huffman's performance ... is the way she plays the role with dignity. She likes this man, and so do we.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
With a tough-minded performance from Felicity Huffman and a script from writer and director Duncan Tucker that keeps its eyes on the road, Transamerica goes in for neither broad laughs nor 'we're all the same' speechifying.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
An abrupt but unforgettable movie with rough edges that lend it even more resonance.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
It sometimes suggests a John Waters drag farce trying to go mainstream and sentimental.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
In Transamerica, Felicity Huffman out-Victor/Victorias Julie Andrews in Victor/Victoria.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie works, and it does work, because Felicity Huffman brings great empathy and tact to her performance as Bree.
CNN.com
Paul Clinton (CNN.com)
The result of Huffman's and Zegers' fine performances, and Tucker's excellent work, is one of the most thought-provoking and best films of the year.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Transamerica provides the frame and the occasion for one of the year's best performances, Felicity Huffman's as a woman trapped in a man's body who's passing for female while awaiting a sex-change operation.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
If Tucker's road map often feels a little too confining and the screwball comedy too contrived, he can take credit for introducing viewers to a character they have almost certainly never met before.
Slate
David Edelstein
Felicity Huffman's face is what holds you in Duncan Tucker's delightful Transamerica.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Ms. Huffman's greatest acting achievement as Bree is her ultimate unleashing of an intelligence and level-headedness that is truly beyond gender.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Never has a movie dealing with transgender topics done so with such passion, pathos, power and clarity. Not Boys Don't Cry, not Different for Girls and most certainly not Tootsie or Mrs. Doubtfire.
