A contemporary trans take on Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde featuring Suzy Izzard?! We were so psyched for this one, but alas, Trace doesn't recommend and Joe is only a soft recommend. Despite strong performances, writer Dan Kelly-Mulhern doesn't do anything with the material, which results in a film that's just kinda boring. If you're looking for a be…
