Review of The Danish Girl (2015) by Barneyonmt — 21 Jan 2016
WHAT I LIKED: This film is about characters, and the message behind their stories. This focus on their confusion and situations really makes you think and empathise with them - helped by an incredible acting performance from Redmayne.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: Somehow you leave the cinema not quite emotionally satisfied. Sure it makes you think, but the focus truly on 2 characters for 2 solid hours, where little really "happens," means its slightly dragged out. Perhaps that's just me, but by the ending I wasn't particularly emotionally involved.
VERDICT: 'The Danish Girl' proves Redmayne isn't planning on stopping being amazing any time soon - it could just have been a more emotionally engaging story overall.
