New Zealander Zoe McIntosh directs this documentary about Rob Moodie, a straight man who turns up in court to defend himself on contempt charges calling himself Miss Alice and wearing the frock to prove it. We see that his fearlessness bespeaks a principled confidence about who he is, which is miraculous considering his disintegrated upbringing and the many different lines of work – farmer, mechanic, detective, trade unionist, barrister – to which he has successfully put his hand since. Professional associates and family members fill out this fascinating encounter with a one-of-a-kind self-made man. (Source: NZ International Film Festival)

I saw this film at the NZFF. It is really interesting. Zoe McIntosh has a real eye in her filmmaking - the shots are really well done and the film is really well presented.
What a fantastic documentary about an amazingly interesting and principled man. I loved it. Zoe did a fabulous job of creating a brilliant movie/documentary - well done!
Fascinating
Touching and thought-provoking portrait of a fascinating New Zealander.
