Scott AndersonDec 17, 2015Not only primitive, but void in its political observations. If you're going to try to make something progressive, make something progressive (like Tangerine, for instance, though the two films can't be compared). Ignorant, close-minded, borderline-delusional…

The Danish Girl seemed to not age well with all the negative reviews here. And while your frustration and talking points are never unreasonable, just please hear me out: while this movie may be biologically inaccurate, it showed how far we've come since the 1930s. If Lili…
King #adoptdontshopEddie Redmayne plays transgender the way actors in the '30s and '40s played alcoholics.
Eric HendersonDec 17, 2019The mere thought of how many people said "Of course I support trans rights, I loved The Danish Girl!" is absolutely terrifying.

At least you get to see Redmaynes long wiener.
WoodDec 22, 2015Anyone who watches this film until the end deserves an award, I can't believe I made it through the whole thing. Absolutely terrible, unwatchable, one of the worst endings I have seen in years and way too offensive.

Wished a trans actor played a trans characters instead but I heard the actor has regrets playing this role I hope that’s a understanding for everyone to realize the issue and fix it

This is based off a true story and I couldn’t help but feel for Lili. She was so strong and brave and I am extremely proud of how brave she was.
Sabrina Bondi likedThe Danish GirlThe film is masterfully composed and boasts two strong central performances that will undoubtedly merit their certain Academy recognition.

The Danish Girl is beautifully shot and tastefully made and acted, but only Vikander seems willing to take chances. Happily, she does.

This is a lovely movie.... So lovely a film, in fact, as to be nearly tame.

For all of the virtuosity of Redmayne and Vikander’s performances, and for all its sensitivity and aesthetic appeal, The Danish Girl is content simply to present the ambiguities and contradictions of Lili and Gerda’s story, rather than delve into their gnarlier corners.
