The Danish Girl



This movie should get the Academy for Movie Whisperer.  The dialogue is very hush, hush but considering the subject matter, maybe it should be.  In 1930, Danish painter Einar Wegener elects to have gender-reassignment surgery with the blessing of his wife, Gerda.  This is a true life narrative of personal courage and also sheds light on the medical origins of transsexual surgery.  The movie is well done even if it should be louder and with more diction.  I give it a 7.  Eddie Redmayne is phenomenal in his part.  Stars Eddie Redmayne, Alica Vikander, Ben Whishaw.
