Perheen kuopus Ray (Elle Fanning) on aina tiennyt olevansa poika, vaikka hän onkin syntynyt tytön kroppaan. 16-vuotias Ray on elänyt jo vuosia pojan tavoin ja odottaa malttamattomana sukupuolen korjausprosessin ja hormonihoitojen alkamista. Rayn yksinhuoltajaäiti Maggie (Naomi Watts) joutuu jäljittämään Rayn biologisen isän saadakseen lupaprosessin juridisen puolen hoidettua ja joutuu silmätysten oman kiperän ihmissuhdehistoriansa kanssa. Huikea Dolly, Rayn lesbosuhteessa elävä isoäiti, joutuu – niin boheemi kuin onkin – pureskelemaan hänkin sitä faktaa, että hänellä on tyttärentyttären sijasta tyttärenpoika. Matka muutokseen myllertää saman katon alla asuvan miltei täydellisen perheen suhteet, sillä se on jokaiselle perheenjäsenelle törmäyskurssi omaan identiteettiin ja henkilöhistoriaan.

An exceptionally poignant generational and gender confrontation. It may be bland in terms of filmmaking, but it is all the more character-oriented and the no-name director or the lack of editing finesse are not a problem. The main characters in have incredible depth and an almost perfect sense of the reality of everyday family problems. And it doesn't matter if it's the sarcastic Susan Sarandon who is always on top of things, Naomi Watts who makes emotional charges as usual, or the perfectly cast Elle Fanning. Nothing new under the sun, but a film that tackles a very interesting subject and does it sparingly and genuinely.

I was expecting to see another The Kids Are All Right type of movie, but 3 Generations doesn't work. All three layers of disparate problems squeezed into just 90 minutes should be the subject of at least a TV series. Sure, unbalanced women, lesbian women, trans men, and others don't live in a vacuum, but what is depicted is only sketched in a cursory way. Stereotypes are reinforced, but because it has a great cast, few will be offended by it. On to the next one.

I can't help but see 3 Generations as a concert of three great actresses from three generations, where they are the ones who truly shine. The theme isn't bad at all, but in the end, it doesn't lead to anything surprising that would truly captivate the viewer until the end. Great for the acting mastery, but rather disappointing for the plot itself.

Such a powerful story would certainly deserve more compelling cinematic treatment. Many disturbing themes were touched upon only in passing and not dealt with further. What bothered me most, however, was the fact that no deeper emotions of the main characters were conveyed. Considering the stellar cast, it's certainly not a good calling card for any of them. (55%)
