IMDB link:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0171804/
Tagline:A true story about finding the courage to be yourself.
Favourite line:"I invited you into my home and you exposed my daughter to your sickness!"

Moving and powerful portrait of a lesbian pretending to be a man to be accepted in a small town American commnity.
The vulnerability of her position, coupled with her brash and risk taking personality, mean she is doomed to be forever an outcast.
An astonishing performance from Hilary Swank as the lesbian in question, whose androgenous appearance is simply stunning, makes this a truly compelling movie.
A must watch movie for all.
