the danish girl
bio-pic set in 1920s copenhagen about artist einer wegener
he becomes lily elbe with support of wife and artist gerda
what i liked
beautifully filmed with every scene like an artistic portrait
familiar architecture seen in copenhagen, paris and dresden
eddie redmayne's seamless transition is acting to behold
an art and trans-gender history lesson in one package
what i dis-liked
an assumption i had read the book or knew the story
the focus on the big picture and not the characters
watch-checking started early and was a constant
a strange feeling that there was no interest in me
probably because it is unashamed oscar-bait...
