Summary: Hilary Swank deservedly won the 1999 Best Actress Oscar(R) for her role in this stunning, fact-based drama that "can be seen as a Rebel Without a Cause for complex times" (Variety). Swank stars as Teena Brandon, a young Nebraska woman with a sexual-identity crisis who poses as a young man named Brandon Teena. She finds temporary happiness when she meets a group of troubled ex-cons and becomes romantically involved with the sexy Lana (Chloe Sevigny), but things take a violent turn when the truth becomes clear to her less-than-understanding companions. "Brilliantly acted" (New York Daily News). With Peter Sarsgaard, Brendan Sexton III, Alison Folland, Alicia Goranson, Matt McGrath, Rob Campbell and Jeanetta Arnette. Directed by Kimberly Peirce; written by Kimberly Peirce & Andy Bienen. (R) (AC,AL,N,RP,V)
