A Fantastic Woman
Why this pick
It shares Close-Knit’s compassionate attention to transgender dignity and chosen family, though its tone is more outwardly confrontational and visually heightened.

The Way He Looks
Why this pick
Its gentle pace, affectionate humour, and clear-eyed adolescent viewpoint echo Close-Knit’s humane belief that acceptance can grow through ordinary acts of friendship and family care.
04
Dear Ex
Why this pick
A moving family drama that begins with conflict and gradually opens into compassion, centering how a child and adults renegotiate love, loss, and nontraditional kinship.
05
All About My Mother
Why this pick
For Close-Knit’s blend of maternal warmth, grief, and solidarity around transgender lives, this is a more melodramatic but profoundly compassionate portrait of chosen family.
