Céline Sciamma's TOMBOY (2011) touched me at my core. It's about a trans-boy. Or is she? The film works on many levels. Particularly regarding the subtle, unique qualities that render an Individual. You're not someone else and it works both ways. Laure is 10-years-old and goes by the name Mickaël, has short hair and likes blue. Why on earth would I have a problem with this? I don't, but the film shows a child entering a point where they notice society's reservations toward living as who you are.
