A Unique Indie Drama

Huckleberry is a unique drama about a trans teen in a coming of age story. The protagonist deals with many of the standard issues of these types of stories -- love, belonging, etc. -- but seen from a trans perspective in the late 90s in Ohio makes for a unique and very compelling story that you would only find in the indie world today. The film is very well shot and I particularly enjoyed the pretty blue hues that dominated some scenes. The acting is quite good as well, particularly by the leads. Roger Hill has done a very good job of crafting this nuanced and complex film and I would highly recommend that you give it a watch.

love the angst

I'm a sucker for melancholy adolescent angst, and this definitely fit the bill for me. The acting especially was surprisingly good - special shout out to Sarah Ulstrop. Very nuanced. Really liked it. If you're looking to feel bad (in a good way!) check this one out.

Engrossing, intelligent film

If you're in the LGBTQ community or have friends in it, so much of this film will ring true. But even if you are without that experience, anyone with a heart and a mind can appreciate this story. Sensitive, real, involving. I was truly engrossed by both the film and the filmmaking. And the acting is terrific as well. A great, authentic 90's period piece. But absolutely relevant to today. A quality indie film... a quality film, period. Excellent!

Fantastic Indie Gem

I loved this film! It's an intimate, intricate look at a young trans boy who's dealing with many issues, most of all, his affections for Jolene and how life in a small town complicates things. I really loved these characters, thought it was incredibly well acted and honest and found the story to be original and heartfelt. I was engaged from the start and thought the lead actor who plays Huckleberry delivered an incredible performance. Highly recommend this precious new indie-- check it out!!

What a Beautiful, poignant, gem of a film

This is a gorgeous film on all levels. Set in the late 90s with a perfect mise en scène set amidst desolate Ohio through all four seasons. It follows Huckleberry, convincingly acted by Daniel Fisher-Golden, as a transgender youth finding his way in a conservative town. He's in love with his classmate, Jolene, played by a luminous Sarah Ulstrup, and he ultimately proves he will do anything for his love. Every aspect of this film is well-executed, from the score to the story to the acting to the cinematography to the double-edged ending. Loved it and highly recommend!
