Movie #937 ........................."Prodigal Sons"



Movie #937 "Prodigal Sons" is a documentary I was looking for ward to seeing, and when I noticed that it was going off my list in a few days, I decided to take time to watch it, and it was disappointing.  There wasn't much to this, and it didn't hold my interest.  The real "star" of the show is the brother who has emotional problems and negatively affects most of the members of his family.  I wasn't interested in him ---- I was more interested in the Transgender child --- but that story seemed to take a back seat.  The documentary could have been more focused, in my opinion, and I don't recommend it.









Prodigal Sons        I give it 2.5 stars out of 5.

In high school, Kimberly Reed was male, a straight-A student and captain of the football team. But since leaving his rural Montana hometown, he's become a woman -- and a filmmaker whose documentary could not be any more personal. Half the story involves her attending her high school reunion as a transgendered female; the other half involves reuniting with her siblings, including her estranged adopted brother.
