Thoroughly enjoyable

Watched it at TIFF this year and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It is definitely not everyone's cup of tea, the director took a more artistic play on character and scenes.
I personally really liked the music, it gave me goosebumps in all the right ways, and definitely helped create that mood of confusion and frustration and just a heavy flow of emotions.
The actors were awesome, of course, I was extremely impressed with Eddie Redmayne's portrayal of the transition and transcendence. There was a really emotional scene in the movie (not gonna spoil anything) where I was absolutely blown away by Ms Vikander's acting, it was incredible to see all the raw emotions.
Touching, moving, and a much needed drop of new blood in the mainstream cookie-cutting film industry indeed.
