A brilliant film that helped define a genre

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

"Boy Meets Girl" is the story of a transgender young woman who lives in rural America and longs to move to New York City to study fashion. She meets a rich girl who appreciates her, and their relationship changes the lives of many people.This film has a fantastic cast and a wonderful script. The story is written with a both no-holds-barred approach and a beautiful sensitivity. It touches on many aspects of transgender life and it touches the emotions.Michelle Hendley (as the main character, Ricky) turns in a performance that is brave and heartwarming.

I have given my support for many LGBT themed movies, primarily those that are transgender based. Although I do admit, a lot of them are poorly written or are far from the truth. Boy Meets Girl is different. It is a beautiful depiction of what could truly happen in the life of a transgender girl. How do I know? Because I am a transgender girl myself.As a transgender girl myself, I will admit that I have had far more struggles than Ricky does on Boy Meets Girl, but that is primarily due to being a part of a large town. Ricky lives in a small town and people tend to be forced to get to know you. I have also come out to friends and family in my late 20's while Ricky came out early as a child. I found myself wishing I was more her, and less me. Then I watched her video she made when she was young, and believe it or not, I did something similar and I felt like I was Ricky.Why am I telling everyone this stuff? It's because the way this movie is written, allows you to better understand the complexity of the characters and yet feel for their struggles. It allows you to get drawn into their passion and cry through their pain. The characters are amazing and appear so natural. This movie is one of the most realistic, and beautifully written, transgender themed movies I have seen as of yet. Please like this review, then like this movie. Give "Boy Meets Girl" the exposure that it deserves!

This movie was so offensive I had a panic attack, all she does is run around screaming "I'm trans I'm trans!" and the whole section about trans woman dating woman = heterosexual and trans woman dating men = gay??? WHAT? What is this? I thought we were all about "genitalia doesn't define us"?!?!?!? Way to kick ourselves in the teeth and take 100 steps back. The title of the movie "Boy Meets Girl" is literally about this trans woman meeting a girl, calling her a boy. This movie was written by a 50 year old born and living male. I'm glad they actually used a trans actress, but seriously? This is not how its done. If you want to see how trans awareness is done, watch I Am Jazz or The Bold and Beautiful.

NO spoilers aheadThis film offers inspiration, validation, encouragement, and permission to be ourselves, just as we are. I am a sixty-seven-year-old transsexual. I transitioned fifteen years ago, but after watching Boy Meets Girl, I realized that I still haven't given myself permission to completely embrace my new self. This wonderful movie made me realize I was still holding back out of fear of ridicule, rejection, and hatred.This film is a cure for that particular malady. You don't have to be young for it to work its magic.If you haven't seen this film, I highly recommend it. You don't have to be transgender to be moved by it, just a bit open-minded. It is a very sweet and honest love story.If you are in a position similar to mine - See This Movie! You won't regret it.A huge thank you to all involved in this gem.
