Bob's New Suit

Did not live up to its potential
The premise of this movie that the suit will do the narration and commentary sounds more promising that what is delivered. It is a not too original story about family dynamics except for the transgender-to-be daughter. It was entertaining but not riveting.

A Study in our Brave New World we are living in
I bought this DVD and was very pleased with the writing, directing, acting, and the subject material that it addressed. We are living in a Brave New World, and these topics need to be addressed, and I am referring to the transgender issue that was handled so beautifully in this film. Kudos to the writer, Alan Howard, for doing so in the manner that he did. I was very impressed. The storyline flowed easily and was totally believable and the acting was superb! I would highly recommend this film!

Intelligent & Charming
A lovely little film--Bob's New Suit is highly literate, inquisitive, compassionate, delving into an utterly modern world of family dynamics and identity politics, yet abounding with universal themes of love and redemption. It's also a lot of damn fun. I could not recommend it more highly.
