Jody, a British soldier is taken hostage by the IRA in Northern Ireland, in the hope of securing the release of important IRA members in British custody.

Though it gets botched, Jody is killed and Fergus escapes from the British Army into their homeland. While in London, he finds Dil and slowly falls in love with her, though there is something about her that’s apparent to everyone, including us, that Fergus is oblivious to…
BIG TIME SPOILERS – DON’T READ THIS BECAUSE I WILL RUIN THE MOVIE FOR YOU IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN IT YET
I saw this when it first came out. It was quite controversial then and I think it may have even been banned for a while in the USA. Old ladies were clutching their pearls, the same old ladies who ended up voting for Barrack Obama, the president who tried to normalize transgenderism and homosexuality on his “wife’s” insistence.
It’s pretty obvious from your first sight of Dil that “she” is a he, but back in the day I think people were not expecting it, thus the controversy. Besides all that it is a pretty good movie. My girl Miranda Richardson is great as “Jude.” (Miranda gives an absolutely outstanding performance in David Cronenberg’s film “Spider” (2002)). Stephen Rea gives a brave performance here as “Fergus.” I’ve never been a fan of Forest Whitaker. He’s not a shitty actor or anything but he just irks me. I’m going to give this one just a cunt hair over 4 stars.
Bom filme boa fotografia mas e só o ator transexual fez o filme Stargate da mesma época , nota 5 tem a música que foi regravado pelo boy George
I remember watching this as a teenager with my dad. Ran into a friend of his at Blockbuster. Said we should rent The Crying Game. Fun for the whole family he said. Real funny guy.
Enjoyable, no major complaints.
Now listen & listen very carefully you little crybaby faggots,all you do is whine & spam,i am God in these comments & no one can troll like me,your all weak cowards & all those jokes about me being a pedophile & liking 12 year olds is pathetic,why don’t you grow up,acting like little preteen faggots,but I am the best & you know it,I just wind them up & let them go,no one gets the pussy like me,ask my mum,I had 4 chicks in my basement last night & they’re still there so what you got to say about that? Little bitches whine & spam that’s all you do,you can’t hang with me,don’t try I have 11 different aliases & they’re all as badass as me,the OG rock spider,later faggots
Miserable cunt of a film about some transvestite named Fred,hated it
I randomly wondered what happened to the trans from the crying game. I was a big stargate fan as a kid. So I Google him and he is jacked AF now. Like he has this lumber jack beard and looks like a short Dewayne Johnson. He even has a hot wife. It was the polar opposite of what I was expecting to see.
i like the trans representation and shes beautiful this had a good ending
Spoiler: but for a noir romance this had such a happy ending! It’s tense and tragic in parts but that one shooting was sooooo satisfying. Maybe after watching so many movies on this site I expected Dil to be atrociously violently tortured, and I’m so happy she wasn’t. It’s honestly been a long time since I’ve seen such a beautiful, emotionally intense film. Awesome upload. Thank you!
I truly appreciate Neil Jordan’s beautiful take on M Butterfly; a personal favorite. Truly too bad that Jaye Davidson didn’t wish to continue his acting career; he and Stephen Rea were wonderful together. Forrest Whitaker and Mianda Richardson round out a fabulous main cast. Overall, beautiful film. However, if at all possible, do not watch this film as a teen, with your parents. Just saying.
