Girl, Interpreted

Man, he feels like a woman. As some men do
I can see where this was going. And what a lot of original men and women had to go through when they were originally deposited in the wrong body/sex. This showed the easy side – the people who had money and time to help out plus the society that did accept with the exception of one partial beating.
1920s Danish Dude wants to be a Lady, but has a complicated married life to stand in his alter-ego ways. Mercifully, he has major support from said wife and those around him.
The performances, sets and direction were spot on, but there wasn't much here to entice me. I've seen versions of this before and with a more incredible script. For what they did and tried to accomplish, I applaud them. I'm just not fully recommending it.

Final thoughts: I'd like to see more. I'd like to see the original story of the first patient who went through gender reassignment. I know this is fiction, and I'm not always keen on the non-fiction stuff, but the truth about this might have been more fitting here.
