Dawn, Her Dad & the Tractor

Had the opportunity to watch this movie in a small town in NS very similar to where this film is located and filmed. The display of the nuances and difficulties to be emotionally connected in this sort of community to differences and change was so eloquently portrayed . I feel it was beautiful, realistic and handled this complicated theme with a very thoughtful and humorous lens.

Absolutely encourage you all to see it.

Shelley Thompson is such an incredible play wright and creative. There's not doubt in me that so much love and care was poured into this film. Having more trans representation in theater is so important. Support Maritime film makers and local talent!

Moving & relevant, and who the heck knew Ricky could act!?!? Definitely feels like a Canadian production, which is not a bad thing. Well done folks, really enjoyed it.

Who knew Ricky from Trailer Park Boys could really act?? This film is so beautifully shot and the script is smart, funny and deeply moving. For a story that covers a lot of heavy topics, it still feels light and leaves you with a sense of hope that kindness will always win. A must-watch for anyone really, especially those who would benefit from seeing the lived experience of a trans person. A brilliant piece of independent Canadian cinema!

This is a heart-warming and uplifting film. While it is definitely not a comedy, calling it a drama makes it sound heavier than it actually is. I shed a few tears in spots, but despite the serious subject matter (death of a loved one, and a family member who comes out as trans), it is actually a feel-good, uplifting story, filled with gentle humour and loving relationships. All of the acting is good, but Rob Wells really surprised me with his nuanced portrayal of the dad as a decent guy who isn't good at dealing with emotions. Loved the songs by Rose Cousins, and the beautiful Nova Scotia scenery.
