This movie handled the complex subject matter in a tender and loving way. The tragic loss of a spouse, the subsequent strain on family dynamics, and then an unfathomable relationship with a transgender: All of this could have been a formula for triteness, overacting and unintended humor. But the writer and the cast pulled it off beautifully and, in this process, created a heart-warming story. John Carroll Lynch was excellent --- handling a wide range of emotions in a subtle but most effective manner.
A film worth watching.
