AwardsBest Actress In A Leading Role 1999 - Hilary Swank
Additional InformationPeirce's directorial debut tells the gut-wrenching true story of Teena Brandon, a Midwestern female who disguised herself as a man. Relocating to Falls City, Nebraska, from Lincoln, she managed to convince her newfound group of friends that she was Brandon Teena. The film treats these events with a painful objectivism, as Brandon's relationships with her friends John, Tom, Kate, Candace, and Lana unfold toward their inevitably horrific conclusion. A shining example of independent filmmaking at its most impassioned.
ReviewsPremiere - "...Carefully crafted and quite moving....Swank is truly worthy of all the awards..." -- 3 out of 5 stars, Rolling Stone - Ranked #7 in Rolling Stone's "Ten Best Movies of 1999" -- "...Hilary Swank's sensational performance is unique and unforgettable...", Box Office - ...An effective and emotionally powerful movie....Hilary Swank is superb..., USA Today - ...[Swank's] performance quickly takes off on a life of its own. The actor/role synergy ratchets up a movie that's already working to startling heights..., Variety - ...Compelling and relevant....[A] devastatingly powerful tale...
