Cowboys

Really not sure what the one reviewer is talking about when they say "no trans people were involved." The actor who plays the transgender child Joe (Sasha Knight) IS TRANS. He says in interviews he was assigned female at birth but is a boy. The director also says she went out of her way to hire an actor with the lived experience of being trans. She also went out of her way to speak directly with other trans kids and their parents in order to make sure the movie and role were respectful.

Please actually do some research before making such a brash assumption. A trans child played a trans character, trans people WERE INVOLVED.

Troy (Steve Zahn) is a troubled man. He and his child Joe (Sasha Knight) are riding a horse into the wilderness like two cowboys. Joe's mother Sally (Jillian Bell) is besides herself. She calls the police. Her child is missing. Local cop Faith (Ann Dowd) leads the search.

Steve Zahn is such an endearing actor. He really shows the heart of this character. Everybody is doing good here. Non of the main characters are villains. It's a matter of love, understanding, and tragic mistakes. The movie does seem to be building up to a tragic ending. I can see why filmmaker Anna Kerrigan pulls back and refuses to go down that road. I'm not saying that it's wrong. It's just a bit of a down gear shift.

Great movie, with a good storyline. It is about a trans child, but you also can see it as a movie about a child that wants to be themself and not the version their parent wants them to be.

I can relate to Joe a lot, only I didn't had the courage that young to live as myself.

Must see.

Love the music! The acting is good! No special effects, just a great film with a realistic story.

This is a great movie because of it's story. There are people who dealt and deal with the Trans lifestyle. It is an eye opening and telling you the story that needs to be told. It is not fair to spoil this movie by writing about it but to say that it worth watching if you're looking for a well written story.
