52 Tuesdays

"A delicate and rich relationship drama, 52 Tuesdays follows a family through a year of transformation. The film opens with the revelation that Billie’s mother is preparing to transition to become a man. They make an arrangement that Billie will live with her father for the year but she will spend every Tuesday evening with her mother. In true 16-year-old style, Billie has her own plans for these Tuesdays and sets down a very different path of exploration."

"Boasts breakout talent in front of and behind the camera."

"Certainly unique and that carries much creative weight; it also contains dramatic tension, but that is rationed and uneven."

"The observational skills of the documentary maker show up again here. More surprising is the level of intimacy she achieves with her untried cast and unorthodox modus operandi."

"A fictional story with the textured authenticity of a docudrama... While some of the non-professional actors are a little stiff, cramping the film’s emotional breadth, the sensitively observed drama is distinguished by its structurally adventurous approach and the intimacy of its storytelling."
