Review of The Danish Girl (2015) by Francisrgo — 13 Dec 2015
"The Danish Girl" focuses on two main subjects: 1) the relationship and bond between husband and wife 2) transgender. Without being overtly political, the movie just gives audience a better understanding of what if feels like when somebody you truly loves is not able to be fully him/herself and ask the difficult question of what to do next.
Gerda portrayed by Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina) has to come to term when Einar portrayed by Eddie Redmayne (Theory of Everything, Jupiter Ascending) realize that he is a woman, or as Lili. He undergoes multiple treatments to fix his chemical imbalance and impurity but it just convinces him more that it is not his body.
What makes the film great and a standout of the year is the superb and amazing performance by Alicia and Eddie. You feel vulnerable and powerless.
