‘Anything’s Possible’: Romance isn’t easy when you’re a teen and you’re trans

Teens Kelsa (Eva Reign) and Khal (Abubakr Ali) take their time developing a relationship in “Anything’s Possible.” (Prime Video/Orion Pictures)

Actor-singer Billy Porter, in his debut as a director, keeps the stakes surprisingly low in “Anything’s Possible.”

The film, about a trans girl’s senior year as she navigates her life and first love, is agreeably light — too much so at times.

But it’s not as challenging as it might have been, and thus not as satisfying.
