Eddie Redmayne Oscar worthy performance

Rating: 7/10 (5 February 2016)

I wasn't sure how I would take to this movie as its not the sort I would go for. After the 1st 20 minutes I was hooked. It is very story rich and as with other recent films and TV series has a LGBT equality aspect to it, educating the viewer of the emotions these human beings go through to have peace of mind. Based on one of the first recipients of sex reassignment surgery, Lili Elbe.
Eddie Redmayne and Alicia Vikander was fantastic in their given roles and as a viewer I felt the characters emotions. Eddie Redmayne should be given a Oscar for his roll as Einar/Lili using his eyes to great effect and body language perfectly. For me he made this movie what it is and was diverse in both characters he played.
