Rating: 9/10 (30 January 2016)

In today's world being transgender is now becoming more the norm still the topic and issue has a history and this film "The Danish Girl" spotlights one of the first cases of the transgender movement. As it's take on transgender pioneer Lili Elbe in 1926 Copenhagen is touching and moving. Set in 1920's Denmark, Copenhagen we see the life of a married couple Lili(Eddie Redmayne)and Gerda Wegener(a strong breakout performance from Alicia Vikander)both are painters who are trying to get well known with their artwork. So when Gerda does a painting of Lili as a woman it's like a light bulb went off Lili wants to become a female.
It goes in the form of him dressing like a woman and Lili slowly starts to want to date men and the passion to remain with Gerda becomes harder and tougher. Really this film is about courage and the fight and searching for the will to find the truth and be happy with yourself by finding the real you and becoming a person even if it is a transformation a gender change.
