I read the book - this is a great rendition of it

Rating: 8/10 (5 February 2016)

Brilliant acting. Eddie Redmayne deserves another Oscar for his performance as Einar Wegener / Lili Elbe. He transforms from the artist to a woman in a wonderfully engaging way that is so realistic. Well done. Beautifully filmed with all the richness and glory of the book I absolutely loved it.
Alicia Vikander portrays his wife with amazing poise, grace and charm exactly as she is portrayed in the book. She must have been an incredibly brave woman in real life to manage to be so normal in such strange circumstances.
Engaging and involving - a wonderful watch. (His other book the 19th Wife is also a good read:-)
