The Danish Girl (2015)
Directed by Tom Hooper
this film based on a true story stars Eddie Redmayne, Alicia Vikander
and Matthias Schoenaerts. We follow the coming out story of a
transwoman living in the 1920s in Denmark.
Not without
controversy this film tells a trans coming out story that is sadly
all too reminiscent of the way trans people are treated today. While
I enjoyed the film and it's approach to the subject matter
unfortunately it is not exactly historically accurate which I feel
always does a disservice to those who had to live through the real
events. I thought the cast gave really good performances, it is just
a shame about the historical inaccuracies.
4/5
