What do you do when one of your dear old friends comes out to you as a woman? If you’re Will Ferrell, you fête her transition with an epic cross-country road trip. This documentary is not just a documentary about longtime SNL writer Harper Steele’s gender transition – but about the evolution of a friendship over time, gender and all the other foundational structures – and strictures – around which we build our relationships. Through heartfelt and hilarious interludes in diners, dive bars & other staples of the American Road Trip, Will & Harper reconnect with what drew them together and get curious about what drives our country apart. Often, the two are pleasantly surprised by strangers’ acceptance. But viewers also get a glimpse of the rage and fear trans people still face in this country daily – most, Harper acknowledges, without the protective cover of a celebrity sidekick. Still, you will leave this movie inspired – to find new ways to connect with old friends, to recommit to allyship however you can, and to always leave a little room in life to be surprised. A wonderful film.
