4.0 out of 5 starsAn absolutely beautiful and highly emotional film.
By James Blackwell on 27 Feb. 2016
Format: Blu-ray
he Danish Girl ended up surprising me in just how well directed, edited, and acted it is. Everything is a game of expectations, and mine are usually average for this kind of picture. But I like being surprised!
The Danish Girl tells the story of the first transgender woman and his wife via surgery during the 1920's. In the titular role we have an engaging performance by the academy's favorite new actor, Eddie Redmayne. I personally find Redmayne to be slightly overrated, but he performs more than ably here providing more depth and entertaining moments than in the truly average The Theory of Everything. You basically forget that this man is dressed in drag for half of the movie.
Alicia Vikander always impresses, but I did find her turn in the underseen Ex Machina to be a bit more memorable. More importantly it is the chemistry and the strange dynamic between the two main leads that I found to be Danish Girl's best element. It's also a gorgeous picture from start to finish and while it suffers from a completely flat ending, you can pick worse films to rent or stream.

Wow, what a great film.

The Danish Girl is a triumph of directing, editing, and acting.

The Danish Girl tells the story of the first transgender woman and his wife during the 1920's. Eddie Redmayne. deserved and Oscar for his performance providing deep and entertaining moments. You often forget that this man is dressed in drag for half of the movie. He makes the torment that his character faces a believable one, with some very solid acting.

Alicia Vikander is a bit more memorable in this movie than in her previous outing as the android in Ex-Machina. The strong chemistry dynamic between the two main leads is what has you believing in the story and feeling emotions from the start. This is a truly enjoyable film that I would highly recommend

4.0 out of 5 starsA tangled mind
By Scaroth, Last of the Jagaroth on 7 Jan. 2016
Format: DVD
With a pedigree cast including Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne, Alicia Vikander, Ben Whishaw and Matthias Schoenaerts, Tom ‘The Queen’s Speech’ Hooper has crafted another sumptuously filmed but emotionally convoluted period drama, that will inevitably (particularly given its zeitgeist-capturing subject matter) be another front runner for awards glory when the nominations are announced. Redmayne is admittedly superb in the titular role of Einar Wegener, a Copenhagen-based artist whose seemingly traditional domestic set-up begins to unravel as old stirrings are re-awakened through an innocuous dressing-up session initiated by Gerda, his wife. As Einar begins the transition to Lily – his alter-ego, Gerda struggles with understanding, and despite supporting her husband she is clearly utterly baffled by what is happening. Einar himself embraces the change and is desperate to become a woman, and with the help of a forward-thinking surgeon and a childhood friend - and despite the skepticism of the majority of the medical professionals he seeks help from – Einar gradually makes the change and becomes Lily. Based as it is on a true story, what happens next isn’t hugely secret, but I’ll refrain from sharing just in case.

4.0 out of 5 starsSexuality and the City
By R. J. Lister on 6 Jan. 2016
Format: DVD
In his 2000 book, David Ebershoff never set out to write the definitive biography of Lili Elbe (born Einar Wegener) and likewise this film doesn’t parade a “True Story” claim at the start. What we get is a fictionalised account of one of the first individuals to receive gender reassignment surgery, in 1930.

The story focuses on Einar’s transition and its effects on his marriage to the portrait painter Gerda Gottlieb (Alicia Vikander). The woman Einar wants to be, named Lili, is the third person in the relationship, causing complex jealousy and resentment. Surgery seems like the only option to remove the ambiguity and confusion in their relationship – although Lili also risks losing her life.

It might have awards-bait written all over it but it’s not the “issue” movie the trailer would have us believe. Or, at least the issue isn’t political or sociological, it’s psychological and philosophical. In its strongest moments The Danish Girl –explores identity in unusual depth and with unusual conviction. Fiction, here, liberates a greater truth.

Redmayne’s performance occasionally strays into the realm of mannered and affected but it also shows us a complex vulnerability which confidently elicits as much frustration as sympathy. It’s another physical transformation, arguably more challenging than his Stephen Hawking. Redmayne is portraying a person who’s man in body and woman in spirit. In The Theory of Everything the actor’s challenge was to portray disability; here, the challenge is on the audience, to empathise with someone who believes their perfectly able body is wrong.

For me, Vikander is the real star here. She’s strong yet heartbreaking in the impossible role of Einar’s wife. What will she ultimately become when Einar is replaced by Lili?Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsEddie Redmayne shows what joy acting can give ...
By schumann_bg TOP 50 REVIEWER on 6 Jan. 2016
Format: DVD
Things have come a long way from the silence which used to surround transgender issues to a film like this being made, using big name actors and getting a wide distribution. It has to be said that Eddie Redmayne is superb as Einar/Lili, one of the first people to undergo a sex change back in 1930. He starts out married, and discovers his true self when posing in place of a female model for his artist wife, Gerda Wegener. Gradually dressing in women's clothes gets a hold on him, in some of the best scenes in the film. Redmayne gets a marvellous tenderness into these furtive beginnings, with a sense of discovery like seeing a rainbow. Their relationship gets more complicated as Einar loses out to Lili, although initially he was able to stay in his masculine self for erotic stimulus with her. From then on, we see his move towards the operation, and the film moves from Copenhagen - beautifully shot - to Paris. Einar has also been a painter of note, but sadly gives it up, while his wife's work focusing on portraits of him takes off. The film looks very beautiful - sparse interiors in Denmark, filled with Nordic light, whereas in Paris there is a heavy Art Deco look in most scenes. Alicia Vikander plays the supportive Gerda very well, and Matthias Schoenaerts looms in the wings with tenderness and power. Ben Whishaw also has an interesting cameo. A couple of points could have been more focused on: Gerda apparently did a series of lesbian paintings the film doesn't mention, and the relationship fell apart in real life; also, the loss of Einar's interest in art as he becomes Lili, and how his sexuality changed ... But it is a heartfelt drama that extends much empathy to its unforgettable heroine.
