Is She or Isn't He?

About This Movie

Is She or Isn't He? is an intriguing piece that digs deep into identity and the personal journey of Graham, who transitions to Ashleigh. The documentary feels very intimate, almost like you're peering into a diary as it showcases five years of her life. The pacing has this almost organic flow, allowing you to really sit with her experiences rather than rush through them. There's a raw honesty in Ashleigh's search for love and acceptance, which is a major theme here. Filmmaker Justin Pemberton captures those vulnerable moments, making it a distinctive watch. It’s not just about the transition; it's about the humanity behind it. The authenticity of the interviews and the reality of her struggles stick with you long after the credits roll.
