“A cis actress who goes to Venice and gets an 11-minute standing ovation probably has a couple scripts waiting for her. I didn’t have that.”
is not jam-packed with action or big dramatic moments. It is a quiet and emotional film, often bringing the viewer extremely close up to the faces of a family in turmoil. The titular character, played by Lysette, returns home to an ailing mother, played by Patricia Clarkson, and a life she has long left behind. The reunion is uncomfortable, even agonizing at times, as Monica’s gender transition looms as a mostly unspoken element of the film.
Toward the end of production, you were very involved, going as far as to raise money to hire a public-relations team. Why was this project so important to you that you would do all of that work? . I would have set it off. But I’m Trace; that’s Monica. And I had to take the clues from the script to understand the shell of who she was. I knew we were similar but different. We have different backgrounds, listen to different music, different families — she moves in a different way than I do. She has this quiet strength that I think is similar to me, but sometimes she handled things in a way that was different from me. And I had to honor her.
I feel like a cis actress who goes to Venice and gets an 11-and-a-half-minute standing ovation probably has a couple scripts waiting for her on her desk when she gets back home. She probably has a couple offers ready to go. I didn’t have that, and that will mess with you if you sit in it. I’m trying my best to understand that it’s going to happen when it’s supposed to happen., I want to go into some of those questions.
