The Danish Girl


Eddie Redmayne plays Danish artist Einar Wegener who was one of the first to undergo gender reassignment surgery in Germany in the early 1930s.

'The Danish Girl' is visually beautiful with its careful design, images and costumes. The performances by Redmayne and Alicia Vikander as Einar's devoted wife are mostly impressive although Redmayne's simpering manner as the feminine Lili Elbe becomes a little annoying by the end.
