Willie’s Drive Thru—“America’s First
Drive Thru Surgicenter for the Female-to-Male
Transsexual”—serves up surgery, hormones, and social/sexual
bafflement in this cheerfully animated, bitterly
true-to-life satire of the female-to-male (FTM) transgender
experience.
Your typical transgender film
is a documentary, usually focusing on the male-to-female
(MTF) side of the story, made by a non-trans filmmaker, and
offering a heartwarming look at the struggles and successes
of people who have gone down the tranny path.
DRIVE THRU is not that film. Filmmaker Jed Bell drags his
audience through the overwhelming sex-change experience by
putting the viewer in the driver’s seat. And at Willie’s
Drive Thru, every item on the menu is hard to
swallow.
