A beautiful story of love and acceptance, well acted and filmed. Sometimes helping someone find their way in the world helps us as well.

The Danish Girl, based on a true story, is a ravishing love story of self discovery. Yet with all the great costume and set design and an incredible performance by Eddie Redmyne, it's lead actress Alicia Vakander is the show stealer! Alicia's heartbreaking journey to stand by the love of her life and truly accept and assist her husbands transformation is one of the most endearing yet painful and emotional performances I've witnessed in quite some time! It's no wonder she won her Academy Award for this performance.

This movie turned out to be great. Mind you it's not for narrow minded people or young children but it's a unique view of a married mans life during his rise from interest in being a woman on his way to actually becoming one. All of that goes on well before people were anywhere near our current level of acceptance of transgender now a days. If your into movies that push the boundaries and have complicated emotions this might be for you.

Didn't see this until I picked up the BluRay at Best Buy. I can see why this film piled up the nominations. It's VERY well written and VERY well acted. But it's not for every taste, and it's a bit predictable in places. Still, Definitely worth a look. Looks great on Blu Ray, good set of special features if you want to dig more deeply into the story that inspired this film.

Heartfelt, controversial, emotionally engaging film about a male who transitions to a woman. That this true story takes place nearly a century ago is a remarkable testament to the human spirits determination to rise above the mores and prejudices of the day. Like all good films, our empathy is engaged toward the characters. In this case a husband and wife whose lives are changed forever.
