United States | Austin Chronicle | "Writer-director Duncan Tucker does little to develop his narrative setup beyond the basic and obvious" | NEG |
United States | ReelViews | "Huffman's performance redeems parts of the movie but, until the final 30 minutes, Transamerica too often feels like a journey to nowhere." | NEU |
United States | Philadelphia Inquirer | "It's a farce with heart, a meditation on identity, family and gender politics that has real faith in its characters -- even when the characters themselves lack it." | POS |
United States | Detroit News | "A generally fun movie that offers a different perspective on, well, a different perspective." | POS |
United States | Chicago Tribune | "It sometimes suggests a John Waters drag farce trying to go mainstream and sentimental." | NEU |
United States | The Washington Post | "If Tucker's road map often feels a little too confining and the screwball comedy too contrived, he can take credit for introducing viewers to a character they have almost certainly never met before" | NEU |
United States | Ebert & Roeper | "It's got a lot of humanity and a lot of heart. It's smart." | POS |
United States | New York Daily News | "Before she was a Desperate Housewife, [Felicity] Huffman turned in this tour de force in what turns out to be a funny, charming, heartfelt road movie about a most unlikely pair." | POS |
United States | Rolling Stone | "[Felicity Huffman] turns this small, resonant film into a cry from the heart." | POS |
United States | The Hollywood Reporter | "Impressively realized on all levels, this transgender spin on the road trip boasts an extraordinary central performance." | POS |
