Sixteen-year-old Billie’s reluctant path to independence is accelerated when her mother reveals plans for gender transition, and their time together becomes limited to Tuesdays. This emotionally charged story of desire, responsibility, and transformation was filmed over the course of a year—once a week, every week, only on Tuesdays.

Notes
Overall, I feel positive about 52 Tuesdays· I gained significant insights into the struggles involved with trsansitioning, both physical and imotional· "However the director’s insistence of covering every one of the 52 Tuesdays not only makes the action drag somewhat, but the markers indicating each week actually start to fill you with dread in the slower parts· It could have lost at least 20 of its 109 minutes to its benefit·" (queerguru)
