in the movie Super and I think she largely carried the film. She was very funny and endearing. Too bad the way the story ended for her character and for me, the film sort of lost steam after that.

the pressure, heartache and social hurdles that some face by coming out.
Good for Ms. Page.

When she said, "This world would be a whole lot better if we just made an effort to be less horrible to each other."
That is true on SO many levels.

if I saw her name on the list of actors. (I don't watch very many movies, can you tell?)
I hope she gets tremendous feedback from this and that she doesn't listen to any ugly worms telling her mean things.
