The casting of the film was a stroke of genius.June 26, 2005
The best things in this transsexual comedy-melodrama are Lizzy Gardiner and Tim Chappel's colorful costumes, which deservedly won the Oscar, and Terrence Stamp's performance, snubbed by the Academy.January 01, 2000
The year's one clear candidate for future cult status.May 12, 2001
In this roaringly comic and powerfully affecting road movie, Terence Stamp gives one of the year's best performances.January 01, 2000
It's too bad that the requirements of plotting require movies like this to crank up the event count, when actually what works is just the daily minutiae of Bernadette's life.
