I loved that it changed a lot of minds and applaud the goals of the film but there are scenes where Will keeps dressing up in funny costumes as if his trans friend is wearing costumes too, - which make his friend clearly uncomfortable - that are just cringe.
It was SUCH a great film. Enlightening and brought you into the concerns and terror trans people experience and navigate with grace daily. I cried! I laughed! I genuinely appreciated the invitation into their friendship. So beautiful 💯🫶🏼
One of the best docs I've seen in a while. Not a huge fan of his other films, but this one is outstanding. Everyone should be lucky enough to have friends like that.
Great doc. Ridiculous--and pretty shameful--that the Academy snubbed it. (Not that the Oscars matter much anymore. Not even sure why studios spend so much trying to snag them. Fewer and fewer people care or can recall what or who won... which.)
Hi George! I do not know if this is private or for all to see. No offense, I'm that bad with social media! I appreciate all that you've thrown up for the world to see. I've been a fan since the original ST in 69. Yes i'm old as shit. Thank you for your views and your world!
This was a fantastic documentary. I was profoundly affected by Harper's story, and Ferrel was pretty good, too. (The donut recurring gag was hysterical.)
I enjoyed watching this documentary! The journey/roadtrip was entertaining and at times quite interesting to watch how mid America reacted to Harper & Will when they would stop at local diners
real problem is corporations and organizations being frightened of upsetting the far-right. they think it harms them to go against... but the real data shows most often those asshats don't indulge in those things to begin with or would already anyways like budlight and trucks. break that illusion
Just another demonstration of the state of the US, if something isn't on the straight and narrow path that a few closed-minded people want everything to be, it is snubbed, chastised and demonised...
I was shocked! Finally something original. Not only original but funny, clever, sincere, heart warming and intelligent. I guess there wasn’t enough blood and gore to keep their attention.
I gotta be honest, I fucking hate that song, because it’s so sappy and Lee Greenwood sucks as a mucician when that is his only song that people know (also under Trump it’s not an accurate song because we are not free
In all fairness Ferrell is a horrible actor and taints any project he's involved in with that horribleness, no matter how good the project may be. He's almost as good at ruining a movie as Martin Lawrence is.
The Academy is going the same way as the Super Bowl... subtle abandonment of anything that is controversial in the Country's political MAGA mind of gotta hate someone so I feel better about myself.
Storytelling is meant to challenge, enlighten, and expand our understanding. Rejecting a work because it makes people uncomfortable or doesn’t align with their beliefs is severely anti-art. I’m glad that it is getting the critical acclaim it deserves and will continue to do so on its own merits. 💜

It wasn’t about you .
Harper, I don’t care if you’re a worse driver now, I do care that you ran into the sea knowing your friend Will loves you more than ever.
I never cared much for Will Farrell, now I do!
It’s a winner in our hearts.
