John Carroll Lynch: his every role is a reward, which should also reward of one American film's greatest assets with greater and greater roles.

An incremental narrative that's tightly focused on the pain of loss and the need to find something to replace it, "Anything" is a real showcase for acting talent principally that of Lynch and Bomer, but Tierney is mighty fine as the doubting sister.

McNeil plays it way too safe. Trying to have it both ways, he satisfies no one.

Drug use, strong language in well-meaning love story.

Anything is one more casualty in Hollywood's long history of ransacking transgender stories, which it does under the guise of paying homage without paying coins to those it claims to represent

An implausible romantic drama with good intentions that can't overcome its silly contrivances.

Writer-director Timothy McNeil...crafts a fairly moving tribute to the notion, as Lin-Manuel Miranda once put it, that "love is love is love."

It's sensitively written, humorously human, warmly acted, and admirably resistant to most of the obvious drag-queen cliches.

Bomer is fine, for the record, though the character is a little overly refined and well-put-together to feel completely plausible.

"Anything" never achieves the humanity of the recent Oscar-winning film "A Fantastic Woman," which depicted a similar relationship between an older man and a trans woman with dignity. McNeil's film might be ambitious, but it is not very good.

It's Lynch who carries the movie, delivering a quiet, contemplative performance as a man trying to rebuild his life after losing everything.

As an actor, Lynch exudes authenticity, whether the role calls for sensitivity or terror. If nothing else, Anything affords this character actor a proper leading man's time in the spotlight, and that alone is enough reason to celebrate the film.
