How could Alicia Vikander be named best supporting Oscar actress when she was in practically every scene of the film.
Eddie Redmayne was terrific here as the sexuality neurotic guy who felt he was a woman but born with the male parts.
As his wife, Vikander, as Gerda, is sympathetic and allows this infatuation to continue by having him dress up as a female for the portraits she painted.
Redmayne shows a loss of identity and actual being as he tries to fight his obsession. He really gave a bravura performance.
We see the hate generated with his sexuality problem when he is beaten up by those who cannot tolerate his sexual plight.
