Review of A Fantastic Woman (2017) by Dawdlingpoet — 20 Nov 2021

This is a quite powerful film which features a very impressive performance by the main actor, Daniela Vega, as Marina Vidal. It's sad to see how people treat her due to her being transgender. Its very much a piece of social commentary. I was quite impressed by the steely look of determination on her face, when she has to deal with insults and hatred. I felt the film was quite immersive due to the sheer power of presence she has.

This is very much a thought provoking film, one I'd highly recommend for its ability to make you question the point of view of a transgender person in the scenario Marina finds herself in (having lost her partner).
