I liked this film very much -- only complaint: It feels like a trailer for a much longer film. Maybe that's not a complaint, maybe that's a suggestion. Keep following Johanna, as she makes her transition and moves into her adult life. I want to learn more about her, and watch her family adjust and, hopefully, grow and becoming more accepting.

I also wanted to see more of Johanna's real life -- her friends, her social environment, and not just a glam photo shoot.
