I am surprised how poorly some reviewers rate this film

Rating: 8/10 (13 January 2016)

I saw this film knowing nothing about Einer Wegener/Lili Elbe and found it a most moving story with superb acting from Eddie Redmayne and Alicia Vikander. The former already has a great reputation and the latter(Ex Machina & Testament of Youth) must surely pick up the odd Oscar sooner rather than later.
Perhaps if I saw this film several times I should become aware of some of the flaws others mention, but for me the film felt complete and satisfying. Thank goodness there was no mawkishness in the closing scenes.
I am glad I watched this film, and may well buy the DVD - if my wife doesn't first!
