‘She’s the He’ Review: A Delightful Coming-Out and Coming-of-Age Sendup of Transgender Bathroom Panic

variety.com:

Siddhant Adlakha On the verge of graduating high school, two cisgender boys pretend to be transgender to get into the girl’s locker room.

It sounds like a ferocious right wing fever dream (not all that different from the plot of “Lady Ballers,” the hatemongering Daily Wire sports comedy).

However, in the silly but lovable “She’s the He,” debuting feature director Siobhan McCarthy — and their heavily trans and nonbinary cast and crew — find the farce through a twist: one of the “boys” discovers she really is transgender.

The result is a meaningful comedy-drama about identity, and the confusion of burgeoning youth. Half the fun of “She’s the He” lies in its Russian-nesting-doll logistics: It’s a film in which trans and non-binary actors play ostensibly cisgender characters pretending to be trans.
