Boys Don't Cry
1999

Director: Kimberly Peirce
Cast: Hilary Swank, Chloe Sevigny, Peter Sarsgaard, Brendam Sexton III
Brandon Teena was born Teena Brandon, and she met her violent end at the hands of a Nebraskan redneck in 1993. The Oscar winning Hillary Swank is extraordinary as the transgender female. The film, however, is tragic but somewhat uninvolving. It's very difficult to comprehend what's going through the minds of most of the characters, true story though this may be.
