Academy Award-winner Eddie Redmayne and Alicia Vikander star in this remarkable love story inspired by true events from Oscar-winning director Tom Hooper. When Gerda (Vikander) asks her husband Einar Wegener (Redmayne) to fill in as a portrait model, Einar’s long-repressed feelings surface and she begins living her life as a woman. Embarking on a groundbreaking journey that’s only made possible by the unconditional love of her wife, Einar fights to become the person she’s meant to be, transgender pioneer Lili Elbe.

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.

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.

This film would have been a hundred times better if Eddie Izzard or Grayson Perry played the lead. He should have showed more 'five o' clock shadow' to make the man dressing up as woman scenes more effective and realistic.
