Requires a 20-year waiting period.


* FairForItsDay: The portrayal of being transgender is a little iffy, as is the casting of a cisgender man as a trans woman -- but Kitten is a sympathetic and lovable heroine, and she's not portrayed as a one-dimensional stereotype. Far from it, in fact. So the movie comes off as less offensive and more a well-intentioned product of its time.

** Near the end of the film, [[spoiler: Father Liam brings Kitten to stay with him and Charlie in the parochial house back in Cavan. He shows Charlie - an unmarried mother - the compassion and public support he didn't show to Kitten's mother, making up for his absence in Kitten's life -- but his parishioners don't see it like that. They think he's a disgrace to the parish and violently reject him because he's extended the hand of friendship to a "sinner". It's enough to make Jesus weep...]]

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The whole film has an amazing, often rather pep and easy-going soundtrack that often contrasts seemingly quite inappropriately with its general theme of angst. Surprisingly, it works with the very weird, uneven mood of the film.
