VHS Movie Reviews of Different for Girls
Movie Review: Different for Girls is good for everyone
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a film from 1996 but don't let that put you off. It is standing the test of time. It is about Kim, a post operative trans-sexual and Paul, his/her mate from school. Karl/Kim was bullied at school for being gay, in reality he was a she in a male body. Paul protected him. We see that in flashback. Then Paul sees Kim/Karl and the penny drops for Paul...they know each other, but obviously something is different. Paul liked Karl at school, 'liked' him although didn't act on it I think. Now there is the social taboo of sex change rather than same sex attraction...but Paul is curious and persues a relationship with Kim...not sexual, just a relationship. Then he questions further but becomes aroused by what he hears and leaves. Things become sinister when they are arrested for their behaviour because of the ensuing argument. The Policeman gropes Kim and once again Paul protects Kim/Karl. This time it goes to court...not good. Kim needs to be a witness for Paul in court but her life has been spent trying to blend in, not stand out...this is a trial for her in more ways than one. She does the right thing and becomes the protector but the Press get hold of the story and Paul seemingly turns on Kim and sells the story. However, all is not what it seems. Kim encouraged him to sell the story of their schoolboy situation and following relationship, but the accompanying picture is that of the school bully who targetted Karl/Kim. They end up...do you want to know? Not going to say except...sigh. Cute, cute, cute. There is a shocking scene when Paul asks Kim to 'show him' what was done...shocking in that what you see and what you know about the actor playing Kim don't come together. You see woman but know she IS a man...very well done. Steven Mackintosh plays a great girl. Rupert Graves plays an endearing besotted suitor...worth a look, it will be a double take at 'that' scene. Recommend it.
