The Incredibly True and Harrowing Adventures of Two Girls in Love.
Swank was an Oscar-winner as Brandon Teena / Teena Brandon, a girl
growing up in the badlands where opportunity is zero for girls. Does
(s)he have it any easier as a guy? Not when it means tailgating trucks and
keeping his / her relationship with Sevigny secret. The performances
of the two leads are luminescent amidst the bleakness, like the
stop-motion photography of taillights moving through the film,
suggesting a world elsewhere that the characters will never reach.
Nothing but the truth could be this beautiful, or this corrosive.
