It might read like a routine sequence if it had starred another actor, but it's the first time audience will see Page on screen, living as his authentic self — and the impact isn't lost on him.
He calls the process of playing a trans man grappling with relatable issues a "liberating" experience and a highlight of his career, mostly because he's never felt more comfortable expressing himself inside a character before.

"The sensation of being able to do it and feel that present enough to do it, I just felt exhilarated every day. What a special film to do, first time [back on film], because it lets you feel embodied to the extreme.
