The cyst on her ovary symbolizes her masculine mindset. The directing,\u00a0writing and acting are excellent. Available on Netflix and Prime, this is an uncomfortable watch. At 120 min, the movie is also 30 min too long.\u00a0 However, it deserves notice because it is true to life, i.e.\u00a0<strong>not politically correct<\/strong>. Ray M alerted me to it.
