Kann ein Film, der sehr gut besetzt ist, stark gespielt und wunderschön gemacht, einen trotzdem kalt lassen? Ist es möglich, technisch alles richtig zu machen und doch nicht das Gefühl anzusprechen? Kann man Erfahrungen vorführen, ohne sie zu teilen? Bei The Danish girl ist dieser vermeintliche Widerspruch passiert.

The Danish Girl is about a Danish artist, depicted her husband, Einer, as a female in one of her paintings. As the painting gains attention, Einer begins to transform as well - becoming more and more feminine until Einer becomes Lili Elbe - and becomes the first person to receive a male-to-female sex reassignment surgery. While Gerda is supportive, she comes to realize this change will prove a challenging ordeal to their relationship - even more so when Hans Axgil, an art dealer and old friend of Einer, comes into her life.

Oscar bait movies like this really makes my skin crawl, because this movie literally ticks off …
