Returning to her Helena, Montana high school reunion, transgendered Kimberly Reed had no idea that this would be the easiest part of her trip. Kimberly in high school was Paul McKerrow, star quarterback of the football team. Maybe filmmaker Ms. Reed thought she was going to do a documentary about her class reunion; however, the bigger part of the film revolved around her attempts to reconcile with her adopted older brother, Marc. I was fascinated with the family dynamics as Kimberly and her siblings tried to interact under new definitions of themselves. But with each one coming home to their mother’s house, old rivalries and patterns crept up, making for high drama throughout this movie. I felt Kimberly did an excellent job of directing this movie, while starring in some hard, emotional scenes. One startling scene in particular was Marc discovering the name of his birth mother. Ultimately this well done film showed another example of sibling rivalry, but in a different light. No matter how far one buries issues inside of themselves, they always seem to find a way out.
