She Kills He (2005) User Reviews

Transgendered m-to-w and her suitor; nice look at Miami

[alanjj · 6/10 · 7 June 2006]

I see that the other comments are raising this level to the pantheon, but, since the other comments are both from Miami, and the film is set in Miami, I would assume that these are friends of the director or the actors. In reality, it's a pretty good film, perhaps a thesis film for a film school student. It involves a transgendered man-to-woman and her suitor, a kid who mostly hangs out on the streets of Miami. His friends beat up the trannie, but he falls in love with her and courts her, until s/he falls for him. Both roles are well-played, although the trannie is rather clichéd (does every drag queen have to be tough on the outside, hard as nails on the inside?), but her suitor is charming and handsome and lovable, and believable. It's a stunt that's hard to pull off, but the guy (Junior Dominguez) does it. I especially liked the back-alley Miami portrayed in the film. I was trying to guess where it took place--I thought maybe Memphis. It's interesting to see Miami without the glittery facade.

Extraordinary Performance by Lead Actor (Henry Alberto)

I saw this movie in the Miami Short Film Festival and it was great! I have to say that everyones performance was excellent; however, the lead role who is played by Henry Alberto is out of this world. The director Dave Rodriguez did an exceptional job with this short film. The make-up artist did a great job in transforming the actor to look real. I am not sure of the set location but, the selected location for the filming was perfect. You can tell that everyone who worked on putting this movie/film together was a professional. Lots of kudos to all who worked on this short film production. I highly recommend this film to all who appreciate something spectacular.

Great!

I saw this film at the award ceremony of the Miami Short Film Festival. After, a few OK movies. I was pleasantly surprised to see She Kills He come on screen, it was raw, different, and good.

Great Great Performances...

I really liked this movie. The directing was great, the acting was unbelievable (I didn't know the girl was a boy, I had to ask my husband).

I really liked how the movie shows a non glamorous side of Miami.
