Movie Reviews of Southern Comfort
Movie Review: Well worth seeing
Summary: 4 Stars
We all struggle, the main character in this documentary more so than most of us, but he does so with bravery and grace. The people are rough around the edges, which I struggle with, but it was a good reminder to me to try to be more tolerant of all people. I felt the full range of emotions before it was over.
Summary of Southern Comfort
Rarely has a film garnered such high levels of critical praise as SOUTHERN COMFORT, a breakout hit and winner at nearly 20 major film festivals including the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance. From Seattle to Florida, from San Francisco to Berlin, SOUTHERN COMAs Robert Eads puts it in one of the first scenes of this remarkable documentary, he lives in "Bubba-land"--which wouldn't be unusual if Robert weren't a female-to-male transsexual. Southern Comfort chronicles the last year of Robert's life, as he succumbed to, ironically, cervical cancer; over that year, documentarian Kate Davis developed an amazing intimacy with Robert and his adopted family of other transsexuals living in the depths of Georgia, including his vivacious male-to-female transsexual girlfriend Lola. The film's title comes from an annual gathering that Robert describes as "the cotillion of the trans community, the coming-out party"--an event part convention, part high school prom. Every scene testifies to both the enormous difficulties they face and the grace, humor, and sheer will with which they take it all on. It's not surprising Southern Comfort has won numerous awards, including the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. --Bret Fetzer
