Graphic and VERY disturbing about a person born with both sexes. The female side is more developed but she/he chooses to live as a man. She falls in love with another woman, people discover her secret and all hell breaks loose. Based on a true story, this movie is very well-acted (especially Swank) and pulls no punches. Unfortunately, that also makes it very disturbing to watch. There's a rape sequence that's almost impossible to sit through, and some people walked out of the theatre I saw it in towards the end when it was clear she was going to be killed. I almost joined them! Still, I recommend it and find it great to see a movie that doesn't hold back. Just brace yourself for some truly horrific violence.
