“I first became familiar with Gilby while watching u0026quot;Tolkienu0026quot; where Gilby plays the young JRR Tolkien. To say that Gilby is stunningly good looking, even pretty, is putting it mildly. He also is quite charming.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI opted to watch u0026quot;Just Charlieu0026quot; after seeing Gilby in u0026quot;Tolkienu0026quot;. As a gay man who came out 52 years ago, I was curiouis. Not being fully familiar with the central them of u0026quot;Just Charlieu0026quot;, I was at first surprised. At one point I considered simply not continuing to watch the movie. But, my inner voice said u0026quot;give it a chanceu0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGilbyu0026#39;s portrayal of a teen transsexual, MTF (male to female) is superbly acted / played. Our world continues to be challenged with the widening diversity of the human experience. Being u0026quot;locked intou0026quot; a body that is the wrong gender for that body must be extremely challenging and even threatening.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGilby gets five gold stars for his performance. I gave it eight.”
