This Australian drama deals with the struggles one family has as the mother transitions from female to male. During the first year of the transition the daughter moves in with her father; mother and daughter agree to meet each Tuesday. The film was shot once a week over 52 weeks on the days of those visits. As the daughter is exploring her own sexuality through much of the film, there wasn’t much light shed on the emotions of either the mother or daughter about the transition itself.

I was looking forward to this movie, but was disappointed in the end. The titles and news clips that advanced the date from week to week interrupted the flow for me.
