Captivating

Rating: 9/10 (21 May 2016)

'With true love, comes great courage to be yourself.' Simply wow! The Danish girl was such a powerful and wonderfully heartbreaking well told story. Such a beautiful exquisite performance by the talented Eddie Redmayne, who moved us all with his true and insightful character Gerda Wegener and the stunning, raw emotions from Alicia Vikanser. It brought tears to my eyes and everyone else watching this true masterpiece. Visually stunning, the cinematography was fantastic and the music complemented the narrative beautifully. I felt very moved to learn about the first ever transgender operation and an insight to how it can effect not only the person but the people surrounding them and their relationships too. I would highly recommend this film to people who enjoy a roller-coaster of emotions. A must see film for 2016.
