It's a well-meaning portrait, with heartfelt moments - especially as Kim recounts childhood hardships - but it's often muddled, especially in its selection of talking heads.

Village Voice
[Finding Kim] creates an (appropriately) organic and compelling portrait of a man who wants nothing more than to love himself and to be loved for being himself.

Hammer to Nail
Rating: 4/5 --
Although it's simple in structure and transition stories are increasingly common as a subject, this film rises above the competition through a combination of excellent technical work and sensitivity towards Kim as a person.

Eye for Film
[A] well-intentioned but uneven documentary.

Description by OLDIES.com:
When Kim was younger, he never really felt comfortable in his own skin. Being assigned as female at birth and raised a girl, his childhood was full of bullying and traumatic experiences. The other kids would tease him mercilessly about looking and acting like a boy, sometimes even preventing him from using the restrooms at school. Kim didn't have the words to describe what was happening or how he felt to anyone he just knew he was different. Later on in life, he came to the realization that maybe he was gay, but the lesbian community didn't feel right to him either. After diving headfirst into all sorts of queer and transgender reading material, Kim came to the ultimate decision that he was meant to be a man, and began the female-to-male transformation process almost immediately. Finding Kim follows our titular character through his day-to-day life to his eventual life-changing surgery as he becomes who he always felt he was under the surface.
