SYNOPSIS
MONICA is an intimate portrait of a woman who returns home after a long absence to confront the wounds of her past. Reconnecting with her mother (Patricia Clarkson) and the rest of her family for the first time since leaving as a teenager, Monica (Trace Lysette) embarks on a path of healing and acceptance.

REVIEWS
“Monica raises the bar for trans stories onscreen, and Lysette takes her rightful place as its muse.”
“Director and co-writer Andrea Pallaoro banishes easy sentiment and proselytizing in this touching film, allowing the audience to take a journey with the titular Monica and discover her story on the way.”
“With uncommon sensitivity toward the interior lives of its characters, as well as to the shifting codes of trans representation, Monica is a film about making amends, where the person who deserves the apology is also the one doing all the work.”
