1. Quality

2. Summary

   Really Great 4.5

   This movie will literally have you laughing one minute, outraged another, and crying the next. A roller coaster ride of emotion and sharply written dialogue keeps this story interesting and moving along at a nice pace.

4. Acting

   Perfect 5.0

   Cillian Murphy gives a wonderous performance as ‘Kitten’ (using his native Irish accent) our transgender main character. Supporting actors also give their best,(Liam Neeson is fabulous as the well named, ‘Father Liam’) but it is Murphy’s compelling performance as an outcast in a conservative society, lost and looking for love, acceptance, and his long-lost mother that will capture your attention and win your affection for his charismatic character.
