Dawn, Her Dad & the Tractor

So good to have a movie that is inspiring and forgiving and family orientated. The story is real and shows how we can be compassionate. It is entertaining and a movie that is accessible to talk to tour kids about trans folks.

I won't go overboard on the side of the acting, but the storyline was real and it's amazing how often we see situations like this in our daily routine.

I have a nephew that has discovered that he does not want to be a 'guy' and I know there's some family members that are having a very hard time accepting this just as John (the father) and Tammy (the sister) did.

Insecurity of homophobic cowards leads to not only displays of social non-acceptance and, of course, hate crimes. It's truly amazing how much this factors into the lives of those that go through this life changing transformation.

This movie was an incredible reflection of the truth that exists and I must commend everyone involved. I will be watching this many more times in the future I'm sure!

Shelley Thompson is such an incredible play wright and creative. There's not doubt in me that so much love and care was poured into this film. Having more trans representation in theater is so important. Support Maritime film makers and local talent!

Loved this movie. The music was spectacular - Rose Cousins' voice and lyrics were perfect to capture the tone and emotion of the movie - a mixture of sadness and hope. Standout for me was how well the movie captures the way rural East Coast families - like mine! - deal with emotion and pain by pretending it doesn't exist. Highly recommend this beautiful piece of cinema!

This is a heart-warming and uplifting film. While it is definitely not a comedy, calling it a drama makes it sound heavier than it actually is. I shed a few tears in spots, but despite the serious subject matter (death of a loved one, and a family member who comes out as trans), it is actually a feel-good, uplifting story, filled with gentle humour and loving relationships. All of the acting is good, but Rob Wells really surprised me with his nuanced portrayal of the dad as a decent guy who isn't good at dealing with emotions. Loved the songs by Rose Cousins, and the beautiful Nova Scotia scenery.
