A profile of a preoperative transsexual, director Matthew Barbato's fascinating documentary follows Alexis Arquette as she prepares for her upcoming gender-reassignment surgery. Part of a famous Hollywood family that includes siblings Rosanna, Patricia and David, Alexis is a well-known drag performer, underground cartoonist and actor who's appeared in dozens of films, including the 1994 blockbuster Pulp Fiction.
