A fantastic film


A Fantastic Woman (2017)

Directed by Sebastian Lelio this film stars Daniela Vega, Francisco Reyes and Luis Gnecco. Following the accidental death of her boyfriend a transgender woman is treated horribly by both authorities and the man's family.

Despite covering one of the worst periods of a person's life this film is littered with the type of transphobia that transfolk suffer on a daily basis. The subject matter is treated carefully and without being melodramatic. There are a few really cinematic sequences that really elevate the film as well.

4/5
