CGiii Comment

It's a bit wobbly, in the beginning...but, thankfully, it does start to find its feet.

Weak beginning, more stable be middle, strong finish!

However, if you rely on the 3-act structure, they all have to upstage each other...thar's when you win.

Directors, this is your job: Kill over-acting immediately...the mother was too much!

Credible emotion...so, not too shabby!

The(ir) Blurb...

When Tess learns of her estranged father’s death, she travels to the funeral hoping for nothing more than some closure and the chance to meet the woman who stole him from her. Immediately blindsided by the revelation that her father was a transgender woman, Tess starts to wonder what else has been kept from her, turning to her mother for answers.
