An incredibly flawed film and the only thing that stops it from getting one star is Alicia Vikander's performance. Everything else is either bad or irritating: Eddie Redmayne seems to be in Oscar-bait mode, you never get a sense of the internal struggle Lili must have endured... Just save your money and wait for it to appear on TV.

Eddie Redmayne is just a remarkable actor. He portrayed his character so well that you just get so caught up in him/her. Very moving & sad. If you're an open minded person, then this film will tear you apart. It did me. Brilliant 100% perfect!!! Emotionally broken after this watch :'(

Repetitive and slow. Lili spends the whole movie looking at the floor and making her hands flutter, and Gerda spends the rest of time eyes welling up. As they rewrote a lot of what actually happened they should have injected some life into it. Incredible shame, this could have been so much more.
