Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: A bold challenging and visionary film with small problems Comment: In light of the recent Oscar win for Hillary Swank, this film becomes grander in its significance. Midi Onodera had the courage to not only talk about transexuality, homosexuality, fetishism and drag culture in her film but her casting choices were just as courageous. Her lead, Keram Malicki-Sanchez is not only playing a woman who feels she is a man trapped in a woman's body, but Keram actually IS, in reality a male actor. Although the film has the usual problems with pacing, lighting and storyline that many first time low-budget independents run into, this is a remarkably bold, powerful film, and, considering the time in which it was released, the cast and its creators should be acknowledged for undertaking such a daunting task.
