Not a bad film. It does the job, But it's not a very original treatment of the theme.

Tom Wilkinson's character seems like the least likely man to want a sex change. Jessica Lange plays the wife blindsided by her husband after 25 years of marriage. She is marvelous in this role. The subject is difficult and the situations are uncomfortable for everyone. I particularly liked the conversation she had with him about why he wanted a vagina, priceless. The pastor was a predictable hypocrite. Acting throughout was excellent. Dialog was also very good.
