Boy Meets Girl (2014)
Inspiring and Sweet Love Story
NO spoilers ahead
This film offers inspiration, validation, encouragement, and permission to be ourselves, just as we are.
I am a sixty-seven-year-old transsexual. I transitioned fifteen years ago, but after watching Boy Meets Girl, I realized that I still haven't given myself permission to completely embrace my new self. This wonderful movie made me realize I was still holding back out of fear of ridicule, rejection, and hatred.This film is a cure for that particular malady. You don't have to be young for it to work its magic.
If you haven't seen this film, I highly recommend it. You don't have to be transgender to be moved by it, just a bit open-minded. It is a very sweet and honest love story.
If you are in a position similar to mine - See This Movie! You won't regret it.
A huge thank you to all involved in this gem.
Den röda vargen (2012)
Underrated, I think.
I really enjoyed this series. Luckily, I didn't check out the ratings on IMDb, or I might never have tried it. Well-written, well-acted, and well-directed. I have seen the first six episodes (which seem to be listed separately here). Some are better than others, but all were worth watching.
Malin Crepin is a treat to watch, as Annika. The continuing story of her marriage and motherhood make Annika a much fuller character than "reporter." Like the best of series, there is both an episode resolution and continuing character development.
If you like Scandinavian TV series like "The Protectors," you'll probably like "Annika Bengtzon."
Check it out if you like well-done mysteries. I hope there are more of these shows to come.
