Becoming Chaz Review

Reviews
As an audience member in 'Becoming Chaz', I spend a lot of time during the film wondering when the film was going to begin and when the advertisement for transition was going to end. 'Becoming Chaz' follows a year in the life of Chastity (now Chaz) Bono, the daughter of Cher and Sonny as she goes through surgery to remove her breasts and major life style changes to transition to Chaz.

Last night was the opening of the BFI London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival on the Southbank and I was lucky enough to attend the Gala Opening Screening of Gregg Araki's ('Totally Fucked Up', 'Nowhere', 'Mysterious Skin') new end of the world comedy drama, 'Kaboom' starring Thomas Dekker, Hayley Bennett, Juno Temple and James Duval.
