    Such a great story! But heartbreaking at the same time.
  

*by C***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 29, 2022*

Such a great story about a brave women who was desperate to be who she truly was,The love is between two souls and is what I saw in this film Eddie Redmayne did so well as Lilly The chemistry between both actors in this was amazing! I highly recommend it.

    I thought Alicia Vikander stood out more than Eddie Redmayne...
  

*by N***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 17, 2016*

I thought the acting was good, story/dialogue were just okay... something was missing.  My interest in movies like The Danish Girl are about the relationships between the people, not the events or even who those people might be.  I simply enjoy the voyeuristic aspect of watching people navigate their worlds.  I can watch an animated movie and get just as deeply involved if the dialogue and characters are full enough, believable enough.So, the relationship between Gerda and Einar at times disappointed me and threw me off... I try to imagine how complicated it would be to discover your spouse is transgender but to lose your spouse to other lovers... that would be insult to injury.  I don't believe for a second that Einar wasn't sexually attracted to Gerda and he was certainly in love with her, they were deeply in love... and maybe his attraction was simply because he was deeply in love with her.  People are not so limited by gender roles that they can never have any flexibility -- that's part of the problem with labels.  And, surely Gerda and Einar would have shared more, known more about each other given they were artists and so attached to each other... I find the relationship between creative artsy people to be no mistake, I think they often seek the other out because they don't like and can't embrace their art when society puts limitations on who they are... like putting them in a box... these are people that express the world around them and whether that personality comes first or their work creates it I'm not sure...  and this is a big piece for me, because I had issue with what wasn't said or done and therefore, I had a hard time believing all the emotion between the two as Lili was dying...The gender roles, again, don't matter to me, it's the relationship between the two people and how it is evolves... the things the characters do, the way they choose to love or reject some one... their limitations, immaturity or inability to grow with another... and, something was missing for me between Gerda and Einar. Maybe the two actors didn't really like each other... I don't know but I didn't feel the love. Well, and in all honesty, I was more attracted to Gerda's character than Einar.  I liked her strength and determination and I thought they did Einar a disservice to make him and Lili appear so fragile... the courage it took, the rebellion, the conviction, the risk to bring Lili to life was nothing to blush about... such a brave heart.  I kind of think maybe the director wasn't as comfortable as he needed to be... and consequently, he was guilty of putting his own frame work (box) around what it means to be transgender or feminine... even with his "ground breaking" movie.  I know, I know, we all have our biases...  anyway, Alicia Vikander was incredible!

    The Lily Elba story continues eighty years later....and later.
  

*by M***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 23, 2016*

This film was made as a re-creation of the life of Lily Elba, a Danish born male, with severe gender dysphoria.  Basically this DSM4,5 diagnosisis for a person with a biological sex, that desires to live permanently and legally as the opposite sex and gender.  In most parts of the world and inmost states of the United States, medical & surgical intervention is necessary to create a medically acceptable and legally binding gender change.I spent twenty years studying this condition with psychologists and medical people.  In 2009, I myself, under went the SRS or GRS; from born maleto accepted female. My surgery followed the pioneering work of surgeons in Denmark and around the world.  In 2009, I was following the surgicalpath of Lily Elba, some eighty years of medical advances later.  I obviously survived the six hour surgery, that is commonplace today in the USA, as well as in the Far East.  No, I am not famous.  Christine Jurgenson in 1953 became famous for a documented successful sex change.  Now that I claim expert status from living a Lily Elba life., I give the film good marks on content  and accuracy.  Yes violence is always present in a  binary gendered society.  Lost of spouse and family support is very real; Everybody's story is different but all too real and painful.  I had to purchase this film and review it.  Eighty years ago in pre-Hilter Europe, everything was against this social change.  But this incredibly uphill battle  against all odds is the hallmark of Gender Dysphoria even today.  This was the mission of the film to tell a true human story with grave social impact on others, like wives.  And it only happens more frequently today; somewhat with more compassion from society.  Personally, I had a good experience with Social Security and other State and Federal governments.  There is today, 80 years later than Lily Elba, a roadmap for the transition that Lily needed.  The ending of the film I predicted knowing the surgical risks, Lily died as the procedure was too experimental and risky.  However the pursuit of transsexuals is always strong.  I found out that I stopped breathing on the OR table, only by receiving a bill from a pulminologist called to assist.  Not a soul was ever concerned; it is so routine today.  My own sister told me that I would not like this film because I was actually living it..  Bad Attitude! One should not  live life with your head in the sand.  Apparently, in writing this review, I live open and free. Great film with great acting all around.
